Sarara
Luxury Tented Camp
Namunyak (meaning 'a place of peace') is a
vast tribal community wilderness area administered by the
recently formed Namunyak Wildlife Conservation Trust, in close
conjunction with Piers and Hilary Bastard and the Lewa Wildlife
Conservancy. The camp is situated to the north of Ol Donyo
Sabache (Ol Lolokwe), just below Warges peak, in the fabled
Mathews Mountains of Northern Kenya.

Sarara tented camp
has five luxury sleeping tents, each with its own flush loo
and open-air bush shower. Comfortable beds, plus quality bed
linen, bathrobes, towels and other essentials are provided.
The camp can accommodate a total of 10 people in the five
double tents.
There is a beautiful lounge / dining banda which overlooks
a natural swimming pool and waterhole and has unrivalled views
of the Mathews Mountains beyond.

| Namunyak is a truly un-spoilt
wilderness conservation area with few roads. The emphasis
here is mainly on walking excursions, with local Namunyak
community game scouts as guides.

Sarara is a dry season refuge
for several hundred elephant and numbers increase dramatically
during the rainy seasons. Lion and leopard are resident and
there are two separate groups of the endangered African Wild
Dog, with one pack numbering at least thirty individuals.
Other wildlife species of particular interest include kudu,
Grevy's zebra, striped hyena and gerenuk. There are black
and white colobus monkeys in the forest.
