Sarara is found within the lands of the Namunyak Wildlife Conservation Trust. An area of approximately 850,000 acres, lies folded around the southern corner of the fabled Mathews Mountain range of northern Kenya. This is home of the proud Samburu people, a group of semi-nomadic pastoralists who have for long shown tolerance for the wildlife that co-exists alongside their cattle. The Trust was set up in 1995 specifically to promote wildlife conservation and to assist the local community to benefit from tourism, in return for protecting the wildlife species living on their land. Sarara is hosted by Piers and Hilary Bastard, and their dedicated and friendly team. Accommodation Six spacious tents which can all be adjusted for single, twin, double or triples, each with flush lavatories and open air showers. Gas and solar lamps provide lighting in the tents.

A Typical Day at Sarara For many, Sarara Camp is considered the most beautiful and spectacular of all the community based lodges in northern Kenya. Nestled amongst the southern foothills of the fabled Mathews mountain range, directly beneath Warges peak (8,500’), Sarara Camp was the brainchild of Piers Bastard (a third generation Kenyan of farming stock) who built this stunning camp in 1997 specifically to help the Namunyak community to benefit from wildlife conservation. Piers and his Kenyan born wife Hilary are your hosts. Early mornings at Sarara can only be described as truly spectacular! Tea or coffee and home baked cookies will be served on your veranda deck by staff from the local community as the sun rises … incredible hues of pink and crimson red pouring over the eastern horizon. This will be followed by a fascinating stroll along the wide, sandy Sarara ‘lugga’. Accompanied by armed local field scouts who were born and raised in the area, guests may hope to find elephant, gerenuk, reticulated giraffe, the elegant lesser kudu plus an enormous variety of birds before breakfast. A very special treat would be to encounter our resident pack of up to 70 African wild dogs who frequently den and hunt close to camp. A traditional safari breakfast cooked out in the middle of the bush sets the tone for the remainder of the morning. At around 10.00 a.m. guests will be eager to pay a visit to the famous ‘Sarara Singing Wells’. Here, Samburu tribes people bring their cattle and goats to water on a daily basis. Stripped naked, the muscular warriors chant traditional Samburu songs as they pass water up in a human chain. All are welcome to mix and mingle but we respectfully ask that guests do not take any photographs as this changes these proud nomads uncomplicated lifestyle forever. By mid-morning the sun is getting hot. A return to camp and a dive into the clear natural rock swimming pool to cool off. Then relax and enjoy a buffet lunch. With luck a number of elephant will come to mud bath in the waterhole just a few metres in front of your tents. While away the afternoon by taking a nap or writing up a memory-filled safari journal. As the heat dissipates, it is time to venture out once more. This could be either a fascinating game drive in specially prepared 4×4 vehicles or a camel ride. Leopard abound in the area and frequently seen. As the sun sets, it is time for cocktails and an incredible bush dinner under the twinkling stars !! Optional activities include an overnight fly camping outing with camels, or an amazing walk high up into the indigenous rain forest of the Mathews range. Namunyak means ‘The Place of Peace’ in the local Samburu dialect. Sarara Camp and the entire Namunyak community warmly welcome all visitors to come in peace to this unique and special place.

A Typical Day at Rekero Tented Camp

A typical day would start with a cup of tea/coffee at 6 o’clock followed by an enjoyable day of morning and afternoon escorted game viewing drives in the Mara and bush walks. Rekero Tented camp is ideally situated near the confluence of the Talek and Mara Rivers for easy access to the mass wildebeest migration, which teems in the Mara from August through to October. The camp is located in a riparian forest, which offers welcome shade during the hotter time around midday.

The safari cook will amaze you with what he can produce from his tented kitchen. Fresh bread is baked in camp and canapés, steaks, fish, vegetables, fruits, cheese and desserts make up an exciting and varied menu. Breakfast is usually taken early and is of the hearty English-style. Alternatively, you might go out on an early game-viewing drive after tea/coffee and cookies, followed by a later brunch. Lunch is usually al fresco under a pepper tree on the rivers edge, often a buffet or perhaps even a picnic out in the bush. Afternoon tea and cake around 4 p.m. is followed later by a candle-lit dinner followed by drinks by the campfire, listening to the noises of Africa after dark.

At each meal, decisions are made regarding your next game activity. In the Mara Conservation area, walks bring you much closer to nature, perhaps approaching an elephant from downwind to observe him feeding, coming close to a klipspringer sunning himself on a rock, or watching a crab spider spinning its web highlighted by the morning dew, all undisturbed by the noise of vehicles.

Cultural visits to the local Masai and Ildorobo villages and the remote Ildorobo caves, together with an insight into bush craft, make a visit to Rekero a truly unique experience.

A Typical day at Wilderness Trails

At Lewa Downs, a magnificent private conservancy of more than 50,000 acres, Wilderness Trails, the guest operation is run in the home of Will and Emma Craig and is hosted by Meera Aggawall, Karamushu OlKinyaga and their capable assistant hosts and guides.
You can choose between a variety of escorted excursions; game viewing drives on the conservancy, local bush walks or horseback riding. There is some magnificent country to be explored on the flat and in the hills and horseback riding is the perfect way to get right among the plains game: literally a few feet away from browsing giraffe, zebra and eland. The horses have given enormous pleasure to many who have never ridden before. The peace is remarkable, the only sounds being the plod of the horse’s hooves and the singing of birds. The swamp amid yellow-barked acacia trees contains a breeding stock of sitatunga, a shy aquatic antelope with long splayed hooves, which enable it to traverse marshy areas. Also, a treetop game lookout nearby is a fine place for observing wildlife.
Animals to be seen at Lewa include elephant, numerous reticulated giraffe, eland, lion, leopard, cheetah, Burchell’s and Grevy’s zebra, Jackson’s hartebeest, greater kudu, Grant’s gazelle, impala, gerenuk, bushbuck, dikdik and many others. Lewa is also one of the few places where one can see Grevy’s zebra and Burchell’s zebra, side-by-side. The conservancy is one of Kenya’s Rhino Sanctuaries and protects more than 20 black rhino and 20 white rhino.
There is a prehistoric site at Lewa Downs where rough-hewn ancient Acheulian hand axes can be found scattered all over the ground, perhaps a half million years old. If you are interested, a visit to see the working side of the ranch can be arranged. The Craigs are also committed to developing several cottage industries on the fringe of their property and the local community weave attractive carpets from natural wool, sheared from sheep raised on the property, and make furniture from trees felled by elephant. You can visit the carpet and furniture workshops, or these are available for purchase at the small gift boutique as well as other items.
The bird life is superb and lilac-breasted rollers, superb starlings, white-throated bee-eaters and red-fronted barbets are amongst the colourful birds to be found here. When you stand on the rock outcrops, vultures and eagles can be photographed soaring within a few feet. Arriving at the lookout point high on a windy ridge, you can see 17,000’ Mount Kenya glowing crimson in the distant sunset. A short walk to the cliff reveals another surprise; a table and chairs have been set up and the staff are waiting to serve drinks and hors d’oeuvres! The return to the lodge is a night drive with a spotlight, on the lookout for nocturnally active species such as aardvark, caracal, bat-eared fox, honey badger, porcupine, bush baby, mongoose, etc.
Following dinner, you can sip a cocktail or coffee by the fire, enjoy friendly conversation and marvel at the millions of bright stars twinkling brightly in the inky black pollution-free African sky. Looking down towards the south, the four ‘points’ of the Southern Cross can be clearly seen.
