Saruni Samburu Lodge - Kenya Safari

Saruni Samburu is a designer lodge located on Kalama Conservancy next to Samburu National Reserve, in Kenya's wild North. Surrounded by a 95,000 hectares private reserve and perched on top of a spectacular viewpoint, its six houses and swimming pool overlook waterholes where the famous Samburu elephant, leopard, reticulated giraffe and Grevy zebra gather to drink. The vastness and the purity of this African landscape, combined with the untouched local culture, will make your wildlife photo safari a different experience. Kalama represents a crucial migratory corridor between northern and southern conservation areas of this spectacular region of Kenya. Large herds of elephants cross Kalama in their migratory routes between the different conservancies that are under the NRT umbrella. Kalama members have coexisted with the Samburu National Reserve for over 40 years, sharing revenues and wildlife.
