Overview
The Saruni Experience is 7 night fly-in Safari to Masai Mara & Samburu. It combines two wonderful camps both by the Saruni company, chosen for their style, originality and location. It combines a relaxing pace with spectacular lodges, world-class game-viewing and interesting Samburu culture.
After a night in Nairobi, you head to the Samburu area. away from the crowds.
With some of Africa’s best camps, guides and virtually everything included, days are as lazy or adventurous as you would like them to be. Some of the activities include walking safaris, day and night game drives, spa treatments, cultural village visits, bush dinners and much more.
Note: This price is based on 2 people travelling and so there is a flight supplement of $760 (for the 3 flights) for out of season months (Jan to June and Nov to Dec). This is in case there are no other people joining you on the flight. If you are a party of four, the price will be lower as no flight supplement is needed. If there are other people joining on some of the flights, then you will be refunded (per flight sector) after the trip.

The vastness and the purity of this African landscape, combined with the untouched local culture, will make your wildlife safari a different experience. We are close enough to game drive inside Samburu National reserve, Buffalo Springs National Reserve and West Gate Conservancy, but many activities take place in Kalama, a well-kept secret of Kenya’s North. The recent introduction of water means that Kalama is becoming an important attraction to all the Samburu wildlife. Our activities include night and morning game drive in Kalama Conservancy, rock climbing, professionally-led game walks, bush dinners and star gazing. The traditions and semi-nomadic heritage of the local Samburu people are an important part of the experience. Led by professional Samburu guides, our guests enjoy a new dimension of this rightfully popular region: the feeling of exclusivity, of having an incredibly large area totally to their own, and a high level of comfort and tailor-made service.
