Itinerary
Villa
It is a large house with one en-suite bedroom joined by a spacious living room and verandah. It has a very unique character and style and blends beautifully into its surroundings. With its outdoor shower, private dining and living room and interesting design, it makes for an exciting and memorable stay. It is a short walk away from the main dining area, the bottom pool and Samburu Wellbeing Space.
Honeymoon Villa
The Honeymoon villa has one bedroom and a spacious living area and verandah. It has been written about in numerous publications as the room with the most beautiful view and possibly the most amazing room in Africa. Built onto the edge of a hillside around the natural rock formations, it makes you feel as if you are on top of the world. The panoramic views of the wilderness below are enjoyed from the elegant bedroom and verandah.
Family Villa
The family villas fall into two different categories: 1) two of the villas have two separate entrances and can be booked both as a complete unit or individually. When booked separately, the privacy is total because of the separation between them; 2) the other two have one entrance and are perfect for families. All have incredible views, large bathrooms with private outdoor showers and a wonderful open living area for relaxing and private dinners.
The shape of the main rock-hewn pool swimming pool at Saruni Samburu reflects the curved forms of the boulders all around it, and the vastness of the northern Kenyan sky. The infinity edge of the pool segues effortlessly into the breath-taking views of the plains below.
Saruni’s second pool offers – if possible – even more spectacular views. Like the larger main pool, it is designed to collect precious rainwater. This secluded pool is located at the highest point of the property and offers a perfect blend of privacy and wow factor.
Both pools feature comfortable sun loungers, making them perfect for those moments in between safaris, or when you simply want to soak up the ambience.
Rates are in KES and per person per night on a sharing basis or per unit per night. Rates are subject to change with notice. Children under the age of 5 stay free of charge when sharing with parents/adults. No Easter, Christmas or New Year supplements. All guests travelling to Saruni Basecamp must have comprehensive travel insurance, medical insurance and emergency evacuation coverage. Minimum stay during high season 2 nights. No single room supplement in low season
