Saruni Samburu Camp, Samburu National Reserve

With 200,000 acres to explore, how will you ever find the game? The answer is to follow expert local trackers, or walk through the bush with a Samburu warrior.

As well as the elephants, giraffe, waterbuck, impala and lions you’ll see on daytime and eerie night drives across the vast expanse of the Kalama Conservancy, a walk through the bush with a traditionally-dressed Samburu warrior will show you how to read ‘the book of nature’. You’ll learn how locals use different plants, and how animal tracks, droppings, broken bushes and even the smell of trees can help in the hunt.

But there are more reasons to be pleased you chose Saruni Samburu for your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Kenya. At the end of the day you’ll be able to retire to a truly eco-chic lodge, with private villa featuring lamp-lit viewing decks, tented beds opening directly onto expansive verandas and luxurious bathrooms with open-to-the-stars showers.
