Widely regarded as one of the finest lodges in the Maasai Mara, Saruni Mara has undergone an extensive refurbishment, thoughtfully reimagined to maintain its reputation as a leading luxury eco-lodge in East Africa.

Tucked away in the rolling hills of the Mara North Conservancy and surrounded by indigenous forest, Saruni Mara offers a serene and intimate escape. Its design marries traditional East African charm with sophisticated comfort, framing breathtaking views of the open savannah—a setting that invites both relaxation and awe.

As a premier safari destination, Saruni Mara is perfectly suited for unforgettable family getaways, romantic retreats, and immersive wildlife experiences. 

Guests can choose from three distinct styles of accommodation:

• Five beautifully upgraded safari cottages,

• A dedicated family villa, and

• An exclusive-use private villa—ideal for groups seeking privacy and personalized service.

Each space has been thoughtfully refurbished, blending thatched-roof architecture with enhanced interiors and modern amenities. The result is a harmonious balance between rustic authenticity and refined elegance. Warm, inviting, and deeply connected to its surroundings, every suite serves as a luxurious sanctuary in the heart of the bush.

Beyond the comfort of its rooms, Saruni Mara’s elevated setting offers sweeping views over the Mara North Conservancy—a daily reminder of the lodge’s deep commitment to sustainable tourism and wildlife conservation. As part of its mission, Saruni Mara supports innovative community initiatives that directly benefit local Maasai communities, while helping protect the wildlife that makes this region so exceptional.

Evenings at Saruni Mara have their own special magic. As the sun dips below the horizon and cooler air settles in, the crackling fire in the lounge becomes the natural gathering point. With drinks in hand and stories shared, memories are made, friendships formed, and the spirit of the Mara lives on in laughter and reflection. Just steps from the fire, the well-stocked bar and lounge area ensure that guests are never far from comfort or refreshment—whether it's a morning coffee or a sundowner at dusk.
