Satao Elerai Camp looks down onto the Amboseli National Park in one direction and up to Mt. Kilimanjaro in the other direction, giving you the best location of any camp in Amboseli. The camp has 12 luxury mountain facing tents, and 5 large luxurious lodge style suites. The facilities are supplied with hot running water provided by eco-friendly solar units.
Days 4 & 5 – Samburu National Reserve: After breakfast, fly via Nairobi, to the Samburu airstrip, where you will be met and transferred to Saruni Samburu, game viewing en route. You will have a second full day to explore Samburu on twice-daily game activities.

Saruni Samburu is just north of Samburu National Reserve, in Kenya’s wild north. Surrounded by 234,750 acres of private wildlife conservancy, and perched on top of a spectacular viewpoint, its four large rooms and swimming pool overlook a breathtaking vast landscape. Game drives include Samburu National Reserve, Buffalo Springs National Reserve, and our own Kalama Conservancy. Here you will enjoy a new dimension of this rightfully popular region: the feeling of exclusivity, and a high level of comfort and tailor-made service.
Days 6, 7, & 8 – Masai Mara: After breakfast, transfer to the airstrip for your flight to the Masai Mara. Upon arrival, you will be met and transferred to Saruni Mara, game driving en route. During certain months of the year, the Masai Mara is home to the wildebeest migration. Spend two more full days in the Mara, where throughout the year, wildlife is plentiful. Activities include game drives, walking safaris and bush dinners. Meals and overnights Saruni Masai Mara. (B, L, D, Dr)
Saruni is set in a private conservation area close to the Masai Mara Reserve. With only six cottages, it is set in a remote valley in the heart of the most exciting wilderness of Kenya. Saruni offers a new concept of safari: a real African adventure experienced in harmony with Masai warriors while offering high standards of comfort. Each cottage has hot and cold running water, polished wooden floors and large bathrooms with canvas fronts that can be opened to offer you an amazing “shower with a view”. Décor is unique to each cottage and from the large verandas one can watch the wildlife at the nearby waterhole.
