The Observatory cottage luxury safari accommodation at Saruni Mara

Saruni Mara

Lodge location Mara North Conservancy

Boutique luxury and charm in the farthest reaches of the African wilderness.

Known as one the most stylish safari accommodations in the Masai Mara, Saruni Mara is just the right combination of luxury and classic safari charm. This boutique lodge is tucked away in a secluded valley in the heart of the Mara North Conservancy. It’s the perfect starting point for (private) game drives and guided nature walks led by the lodge’s Masai guides and trackers.

At a glance

Treat yourself, walk on the wild side, luxurious cottages, game drives, meet your hosts, bring the family, nearest airport, stay together, stay connected, a hidden gem in the forests of the mara north conservancy.

It doesn’t get much more intimate and secluded than this. Saruni Mara Safari Lodge consists of five charming thatched cottages, one private villa and a family villa, all perched against a forested hillside. The view from each of the cottages and villas is stunning. The positioning of the lodge gives guests just the right vantage point for the most breathtaking sunsets. The lodge is one of only a few safari lodges in the Mara North Conservancy , just north of the Masai Mara National Reserve. It’s the smallest permanent lodge in the Masai Mara ecosystem and it was designed to blend in with its surroundings. Just south of the lodge lie endless fields of gold and a lush green forest lies to the north. Saruni Mara is ideally situated for game drives, nature walks and for witnessing the epic annual migration of wildebeest and zebra through the region.

Each of Saruni Mara’s cottages has been beautifully styled according to its own specific theme. In general, each cottage is furnished with beautifully polished wooden floors, colonial antiques, African art and Persian carpets. Even in the heart of the wild there are plenty of creature comforts to enjoy such as 220-volt electricity, large Italian design bathrooms with hot and cold running water and a canvas front that can be opened allowing you to shower with a magnificent view if you want to. Here’s an overview of the cottages and villas available to you:

  • The Observatory: this cottage is inspired by the endless starry skies above the Masai Mara. It’s outfitted with a vintage brass telescope, a moon map and a variety of materials with a celestial theme. It also has a wonderfully large front deck perfect for stargazing.
  • The Photographer’s Studio: this cottage is inspired by photography and its styling pays tribute to the beautiful snapshots that have been taken in the Masai Mara. An old box browning camera, an antique photographic equipment catalogue and the many fascinating prints on the walls all add to the ambiance of this classic cottage. And the view from the front deck… picture perfect!
  • The Artist’s Studio: this cottage will inspire creative guests to paint their next masterpiece. The cottage is equipped with an easel, paint and a desk filled with drawing materials. A stylishly decorated en-suite bedroom leads out to a large front deck overlooking the secluded valley below. Just beyond the valley the endless plains of the Mara await.
  • The Literary Room: this cottage is inspired by the dreamers, the great writers and the poets. It’s not hard to imagine the cottage being the secluded getaway of a literary great. With its vintage typewriter, comfortable leather reading chairs and writing desk, the scene is set for writing your own epic safari adventure. Prefer reading over writing? Simply grab a chair on your front deck and enjoy.
  • The Love Shack: this cottage is also known as Saruni Mara’s honeymoon suite. The neutral colours, elegant stylings and stunning view of the valley are perfect for a romantic getaway. The cottage’s spacious bedroom opens up onto a wonderfully large front deck, just right for a private dinner for two.
  • Private Villa: Saruni Mara’s private villa is named ‘Nyati House’. It has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dining room, a lounge, a kitchen and a large deck. The villa is situated in a private valley at a five-minute driving distance away from the rest of the lodge. It’s the ideal place for groups or families who want to get away from it all. The private villa comes with a private safari vehicle and guide. All meals are served in the comfort of the villa’s own dining room. The villa is stylishly decorated and its wooden features give it a very natural look and feel. The villa’s two spacious bedrooms overlook the Masai Mara plains. The villa offers you your own private safari paradise.
  • The Natural History Suite / Family Villa: the lodge’s family villa is also known as ‘the Natural History Suite’. This new villa has two en-suite bedrooms, a spacious lounge with dining area and a very cosy fireplace. The spacious villa is tastefully decorated with antiques and vintage prints. The villa’s name comes from its selection of books on (local) wildlife and nature. For those who prefer the real thing, the front deck overlooking the wild awaits.

Saruni Mara food experience

Foodies are in for a very special treat at Saruni Mara. The lodge’s chefs take their meals very seriously and use farm fresh organic produce to whip up the most delicious meals. Among the lovely meals prepared by the lodge, you can even enjoy fine Italian cuisine based on the Italian owner’s own family recipes. Lovely meals are served at long wooden communal tables. However, you can also opt for a bush breakfast deep in an acacia forest or on the banks of the Mara River. At the end of the day enjoy an al fresco bush dinner beneath the stars or even a very private and romantic candlelit dinner on your own cottage deck. If you’re in the mood to share a few safari stories with fellow guests, the Kuro House has a few comfortable chairs and fireside drinks waiting for you.

Activities at Saruni Mara

Saruni Mara offers a wide variety of activities for its guests. Start your day off with an early morning Land Rover game drive with a Masai guide and tracker or join a Maasai warrior on an adventurous bush walk through the hills. The Maasai have ancestral knowledge of the Masai Mara ecosystem and the wildlife that inhabits it. They will help you make the most of your safari activities. The lodge also offers excursions to local Maasai manyattas (villages).

For a more extreme safari adventure, you can also opt to take to the skies on a hot air balloon safari . Please note that although game drives/ nature walks are included in the price of your stay, hot air balloon rides require a surcharge.

During your downtime, you can visit the lodge’s award-winning spa – the ‘Masai Wellbeing Space’. The spa’s specially trained Masai staff provide treatments inspired by ancient Masai customs using local plants. Each cottage receives one complimentary half-hour classic back & neck massage. The spa’s serene olive tree and cedar forest surroundings are sure to help you relax and unwind.

For a more hands-on activity Saruni Mara offers a program called the ‘Warriors Academy’. This program is especially fun for families with children. In the course of a few days guests are taught Masai warrior survival skills such as how to track animals and how to make tools out in the wild.

Encounter Africa’s Big Five and the most remarkable natural spectacle on Earth – the Great Migration.

Saruni is part of a founding team of conservationists, investors and over 800 Masai landowners who have created a world-class conservancy to benefit the environment, wildlife, and local communities. The wildlife in this Mara ecosystem is astounding with remarkable number of predators all year round.

This camp is more permanent in its fixings than other under canvas camps. We like to use this camp for people looking for a higher standard property a bit away from the intense bustle of the main Masai Mara. The cottages are very well appointed and we like this camp as a beautiful finale.

Experience The Thrill Of A Real African Safari Adventure At Saruni Mara Safari Lodge

Saruni Mara Lodge is the only small boutique safari lodge in this region of the Masai Mara Triangle, set in a remote and secluded valley at the heart of the most exciting wilderness in Kenya. The luxurious lodge offers the thrill of a real African adventure coupled with the highest standards of style and comfort whilst only accommodating a maximum of 18 guests at any one time.

Located within a private wildlife concession, the 'Mara North Conservancy,' is a concession known for outstanding wildlife and birdlife as well as exclusive and private game drives year-round. If you are looking for your own slice of the Masai Mara National Reserve safari experience, look no further.

Saruni Mara Safari Lodge offers a new concept of African safari: an authentic African adventure lived in harmony with the Masai warriors coupled with high standards of style and comfort.

The luxury lodge has a low impact on the environment thanks to solar power and the recycling of waste.

Rooms and Suites

Seven large and luxurious thatched cottages, all furnished individually with colonial antiques, Persian carpets and African art. Large verandahs lead into large and luxurious bedrooms with King-sized bedding and a small lounge area; en-suite bathrooms are large by nature and offer twin hand basins, hot and cold running water and showers with a view.

The seven cottages at Saruni Mara Safari Lodge are themed as follows;

  • The Observatory
  • The Love Shack
  • The Photographer’s Studio
  • The Artist’s Studio
  • The Literary Room
  • Family Villa (two en-suite bedrooms)
  • Private Villa (two en-suite bedrooms)

All cottages are spaced far enough apart to ensure the utmost privacy, and family rooms are available; please enquire about what options are available.

Cuisine and Wine

Savour the exceptional Saruni cuisine that is served around the long table and uses fresh, locally grown and organic produce in inventive ways. Alternatively, meals can be taken in the Mara bush among the wild animals, with birdsong and animal calls as a backdrop - a dining experience like no other.

By separate arrangement, a candlelight dinner can be served on your own verandah should you want a bit of privacy for a special occasion.

The thatched central guest area at Saruni Mara offers up a bar area, indoor dining, a lounge with a fireplace, a gift shop, and one of the better libraries we have seen in a lodge or camp.

The guest area over up fantastic views out of the surrounding hills of the Masai Mara. WiFi is available throughout this area and is complimentary.

Morning and afternoon (or full-day) game drive options through the wildlife-rich Mara North and Lemek Conservancies are part and parcel of one's safari experience. Bird watching, the wildebeest migration, numerous plains game and predators including lions, leopards and hyenas, this is what one can expect when on safari here.

There are plenty of safari activities available at Saruni Mara Safari Lodge. Some of the most popular include breakfast along the Mara River, starlit dinners under the acacia trees, and sundowners.

There is also The Warriors Academy, which offers guests the opportunity to learn about traditional Maasai culture and history.

Walking safaris and birding safaris are also popular and offer guests the opportunity to see a wide variety of wildlife up close.

For those looking for a more adventurous option, hot air ballooning is available at an extra cost.

Spa and Wellness

Saruni Mara offers guests a serene and relaxing environment in which one can listen to the sounds of the surrounding bushveld whilst enjoying a manicure, pedicure, body/foot massage and facial. A Maasai wellbeing space is you will.

A private cottage at Saruni is hidden deep in an olive tree and cedar forest and plays host to one of the better spa and wellness options in the Masai Mara region of Kenya.

Booking can be made in-house or with your safari guide; the price list is available at the safari camp.

In Conclusion

If you're looking for an authentic safari experience with all the comforts of home, look no further than Saruni Mara Safari Lodge.

This luxurious Saruni lodge is set in a remote valley in the heart of the Maasai Mara National Reserve and offers guests exquisite cuisine, beautiful accommodations, and plenty of opportunities to see wildlife up close.

Tucked away in a secluded valley in Mara North Conservancy

A unique and intimate lodge offering the ultimate in luxury and authenticity

Saruni Camp is in a private and exclusive 74,000-acre wildlife concession, making it the perfect place to enjoy uninterrupted peace in style and comfort. It is the smallest permanent lodge in the Mara ecosystem.

Centred around the unique private lodge, the accommodation includes five cottages, a family suite and a private house. All of the cottages are beautifully decorated and individually themed. There is also a private villa with two bedrooms - one of the few properties in the Mara offering this. The accommodation boasts incredible views of the Mara plains, en-suite facilities and plenty of interesting features to enjoy through the evenings for couples and families. The food has an Italian touch, the use of local ingredients such as vegetables and fish is important. You can eat in a communal dining area to share safari tales, or enjoy a more intimate atmosphere by eating in your cottage. There is even a tame eland that was orphaned as a baby and raised by cattle, who lives in the camp and regularly wanders through inquisitively, munching on the lawns and greeting the new guests

Two daily game drives take place with the option of spending a day with Masai warriors, who will share their knowledge of the wildlife and secret corners of one of the most celebrated reserves in Kenya. You also have the option of a night vehicle safari in the conservancy too. Afternoons can be spent relaxing at the well-being spa, where guests enjoy a complimentary massage. There is also a small gift shop at the camp.

Children and families might like to take part in the special Saruni Mara Warrior Academy, a great way to combine fun and learning with wildlife and culture, and perfect for all the family. This interactive experience gives a fascinating insight into the Maasai tribe, and guided by the 'Moran', or warriors, participants will find out about the lives of these colourful people, and take part in activities such as learning how to use bows, arrows and spears, how to bead traditional artefacts and hearing some tribal stories and songs. The Warrior Academy can be easily combined with regular safari activities, and can last from half a day up to three days.

Duration: 8 nights / 9 days

All-Inclusive cost from US$5,465 per adult sharing

Few wildlife destinations can match the allure and mystique of the fabled masai mara. this is where the modern concept of safari took root; it’s also among the earliest places explored by our distant african ancestors..

The endless grasslands of the Mara are a truly iconic landscape – studded with lone acacia trees and rocky kopjes, they offer endless vistas – and are home to a vast array of wildlife, in numbers that simply can’t be found elsewhere.

Even outside of the Great Wildebeest Migration – which passes through this area as part of its constant cycle – there is a great deal of resident wildlife to look out for, and game drives in the Mara ecosystem are always rewarding. The Mara is also home to the Maasai, one of Africa’s most recognisable tribal groups, and the visionary custodians of this special place.

Our ‘The Best of the Mara’ safari gives you the opportunity to stay at three different camps, and see the Mara ecosystem from multiple perspectives.   Like all our suggested safaris, The Best of the Mara can be customised to meet your specific requirements, and tailored to focus on your interests. Talk to our journey specialists about adapting or extending this itinerary to create a Kenyan safari that’s as unique as you are.
