Saruni Wild

Saruni Wild is one of our favourite camps in the Masai Mara for families with children of all ages. This is one of the smallest camps in the region, nestled in a remote valley of the private Lemek Conservancy on the very northern edge of the Mara plains. The experience here is that of a true African adventure, with local Maasai guides leading you and your youngsters on exhilarating game drives, bush walks, and even showing you what it takes to live like a Maasai Warrior.

There are just three spacious tented suites, offering an authentic under-canvas experience. Proper beds, hand-carved safari furniture and an en-suite bathroom ensure your comfort in the wilds of the Masai Mara. With a super king-size bed and two twin beds, the family tent is perfect for a family of four. Enjoy delicious family meals around the campfire or in the dining tent, which doubles as a lounge. The valley and its wildlife is exclusive to the guests of Saruni Wild, making it one of Kenya’s best private safari experiences.

Coinciding perfectly with school holidays, the Great Migration floods the area each year from July to November. Enjoy a private view of dramatic river crossings, peaceful drives amongst a million grazing wildebeest, and wrap up your adventures with a sundown dinner in the bush.
