Samburu Lodge
The only lodge in Kalama Conservancy bordering Samburu National Reserve
Saruni Samburu is a deluxe, design-forward lodge nestled in Kenya’s wild north. It is the only lodge located within the Kalama Conservancy - a community-owned wildlife reserve that borders the renowned Samburu National Reserve. With access to 200,000 acres of pristine wilderness, guests can explore this breathtaking landscape in total exclusivity.
Perched on a dramatic rocky outcrop, the lodge features six open and spacious villas, each offering uninterrupted views across Kenya’s Northern Frontier District, with Mount Kenya visible in the distance.
Samburu is a unique and rewarding wildlife destination, home to rare endemic species, healthy predator populations, and large herds of elephants. The Ewaso Nyiro River winds through this arid land, sustaining the diverse wildlife that calls it home.
From arrival to departure, guests are guided by proud Samburu warriors, whose deep connection to the land and rich cultural heritage create an immersive and authentic experience. Learn directly from them about age-old customs, traditional wisdom, and the Samburu way of life.
The combination of raw, untouched landscapes, vibrant local culture, refined comfort, and heartfelt hospitality makes Saruni Samburu not just a getaway—but a truly transformative journey.
