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 Luxury Tented Camp, 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.

It is approximately five hours’ driving time from Nanyuki to Sarara and it is recommended to go by air. Air Kenya has daily scheduled flights to Nanyuki, Lewa Downs or Samburu National Reserve. Z Boskovic Air Charters (Nairobi) or Tropic Air (Nanyuki) will be delighted to fly guests by private air charter directly to Namunyak airstrip.
