Sarara Camp
Sarara is one of Kenya’s ultimate luxury tented camps, Sarara is located within the lands of the Namunyak Wildlife Conversation Trust. An area of approximately 850,000 acres which lies folded around the southern corner of the fabled Mathews Mountain Range of northern Kenya. This is home of the proud Samburu tribes people, a group of semi-nomadic pastoralists who have long shown tolerance for the wildlife that co-exists alongside their cattle. Sarara camp has an infinity pool up on the cliff overlooking the animals below.
Sarara Camp is powered by solar energy generated by several sets of solar panels. Fresh food is kept, not in a refrigerator, but in a specially designed charcoal store. Twice a day the charcoal is soaked with water and evaporation keeps food at cellar temperatures. A visit to Sarara is a chance to experience a wilderness like no other in Africa.
