Saruni Samburu
Located north of Samburu National Reserve in Kenya's wild north, Saruni Samburu is a 'design' lodge surrounded by 240,000 acres of private wildlife conservancy.
Perched on a spectacular viewpoint with an all-round view of Northern Kenya all the way to the snow-covered Mount Kenya, Saruni Samburu has 6 villas, a lounge, dining room and two infinity pools, with the lodge overlooking a waterhole where elephant, leopard, reticulated giraffe, Oryx and Grevy's zebra gather to drink. The 6 villas (4 of which are large family villas) have luxurious interiors, open-sided walls and canvas-shaded decks. Saruni Samburu is renowned for delicious cuisine and each villa has its own dining area, offering self-contained privacy and magnificent views.
