Overview

Sarara is located in Kenya’s Northern Frontier District on the 850,000 acre Namunyak Conservancy which encompasses the entire Mathews Range. Established in 1995, Namunyak is one of the oldest community owned conservancies in East Africa and has become the successful role model that has catalysed community conservation initiatives across northern Kenya and beyond.

This remote and dramatic landscape is home to the Samburu people whose age-old traditions, including the famed ‘singing wells’ are as much a part of the fabric of this land as the wildlife. Sarara is named after the ‘Sarara’ singing wells where the community water their cattle during the dry season. Sarara means ‘meeting place’ in the Samburu language and it is here where the keystone of Samburu culture may be viewed authentically.

Sarara is a conservation brand that partners with indigenous communities to build sustainability for people and wildlife through truly unique and experiential safari experiences.

Sarara has 6 ensuite tents (which can be configured as either doubles or twins) and a Private House which has two ensuite bedrooms which share a sitting and dining area overlooking a private pool.

 
 
Hidden in the mountains and the deserts of northern Kenya, lies a place of coexistence, community and wildlife.
A place that heals the soul and breaths creativity whilst giving back to the land and to the people who live here.
Sarara is a place of peace.
