See the Maasai Mara in all its glory, perhaps even catching the wildebeest migration, and experience a safari in the culturally diverse and scenically beautiful northern Samburu region of Kenya. The rugged landscape of the Samburu region is home to Saruni Samburu, the only lodge in the Kalama Reserve bordering the Samburu National Reserve and with over 200,000 acres of unspoiled wilderness, teeming with wildlife to exclusively explore. The area is also home to rare endemic species, the Samburu Five: Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich and genenuk.
From here you will spend 4 nights in the famous Maasai Mara, splitting your time between 2 camps, Saruni Mara and Saruni Wild, in private concessions. In both camps, you will enjoy endless views, fire-lit meals under the vast African sky and guided game drives led by Maasai warriors.
