Guided by Samburu warriors passionate about their land and culture, you learn first-hand about their fascinating customs and gain ancient, local knowledge about the land and animals – a truly authentic safari experience. The cultural aspect of your safari here makes it extremely authentic and very special.

Your days are spent exploring on exciting and varied game drives with the wonderful Samburu guides who share their lands with you and you completely appreciate such isolation at the lodge where you won’t see another light or vehicle in Kalama - the lodge’s private concession.

Activities include day and night game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, and bush walks led by extremely knowledgeable guides. At the end of the day you can enjoy sun downers in the Samburu National Reserve, the Buffalo Springs National Reserve and on the private conservancy itself. 90% of the staff at Saruni Samburu are from local families as the traditional semi-nomadic heritage of these people is extremely important to everyone here.
