Case Studies
Sarara Camp

Sarara Camp
The Sarara Camp is simple yet luxurious tented accommodation set amidst the pristine landscape of the Namunyak community conservancy. Sarara has established itself as one of the ‘hot spots’ for quality leopard viewing in Africa and equally, for close-up sightings of the normally extremely shy lesser kudu antelope. The African wild dogs are frequently encountered in the Sarara valley too. Elephant, buffalo, giraffe, gerenuk, impala and warthogs are now regularly seen on our game drives and bush walks and are very much on the increase in numbers. Unusual sightings include striped hyena, aardwolf, civet cat, African wild cat, greater kudu, grevy zebra and cheetah.

Getting there - Scheduled flights from Nairobi Wilson airport to Nanyuki or Lewa Downs followed by a short private charter flight to sarara. Or by road, it is eight hours from Nairobi. We do encourage guests to fly from one area or camp to another. This does, of course, add to the overall cost of a safari but cuts out long, tiring road journeys and gives everyone much more time to relax, have a holiday and enjoy the spectacular wildlife.


Dinner in the bush - There is probably nothing more romantic than dinner out in the lug ga, the dry river bed not far from camp. Sitting out under the stars by a large camp fire, with a full bar and elegant three course meal beautifully served at table, this is the ultimate combination of wild nature and elegant indulgence.
