Situated in an exclusive wilderness area that borders the world-renowned Masai Mara National Park, Saruni Mara offers guests a private safari experience with minimal safari vehicles traversing on the Mara North Conservancy.
The Masai Mara which is regarded as one of the "Seven Natural Wonders of the World" is most famous for its open savannahs that teem with wildlife, especially during the annual migration when approximately two million wildebeest and zebras cross from the Serengeti in search of greener grazing grounds. The migration is dependent on the rainfall patterns but generally, the animals move into the Masai Mara in the months of July to November. Not as popular but still extraordinary is the Loita Hills migration, where thousands of local wildebeest travel to the Mara North Conservancy. This generally occurs from December to May.
Saruni Mara offers various accommodation options, each room uniquely themed and luxurious in furnishings and decor.
The Observatory is a cottage that speaks to the cosmic enthusiast with its vintage brass telescope, moon map, and selection of other interesting items. The spacious cottage is well appointed with a king size bed draped with mosquito netting, en-suite bathroom with luxury bathroom amenities, inside sitting area, writing desk, room safe, and large deck complete with patio furniture and telescope for the evening star gazing.
The Love Shack is ideal for couples with the aim of being a private and relaxing space to enjoy. The room boasts neutral tones, unique antique furniture
