Sarara is found 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.

The conservation work carried out by the Namunyak Trust to date has been hugely successful.   As a result of the severe ivory poaching crisis of the 70’s and early 80’s there were no recorded elephants remaining in the Mathews Ranges by 1985.  Today, several thousand elephants are living and breeding peacefully in the southern Mathews Range area. The savannah plains and lush mountain slopes are home to elephant, leopard, reticulated giraffe, wild dog, and kudu in ever increasing numbers. 

Sarara has six luxury tents, each positioned to maximise the stunning views of the Mathews Range of mountains and the animal watering hole.
