Luxury safari lodge in Samburu’s Kalama Conservancy

Perched in the Kalama Mountains with panoramic views across northern Kenya, Saruni Samburu is a luxury safari lodge set within the 95,000-hectare Kalama Conservancy. Leopards occasionally visit nearby waterholes, while the surrounding plains attract abundant wildlife and the predators that follow.

The lodge comprises six design-led luxury villas, each positioned on open decking with sweeping views across the Samburu wilderness. It’s an exceptional base for exploring wildlife and the rich cultural traditions of the Samburu region.

Located 7km north of Samburu National Reserve, the lodge offers access to the Samburu Special Five: reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, Beisa oryx and gerenuk. Right at your doorstep, Kalama Conservancy – which borders the reserve – provides private game viewing with fewer vehicles and a greater sense of exclusivity.

Beyond game drives, spend time with Samburu warriors learning traditional tracking skills across the open plains. Expert guides offer deep insight into the region’s wildlife and ecosystems. And a two-hour drive away, visit Saruni Rhino for the rare opportunity to track black rhino on foot.
