Saruni Rhino

Saruni Rhino is a small, quiet, relaxing place on a seasonal riverbed. The staff were wonderful: kind, attentive, responsive, warm, helpful, friendly. Stephen is a terrific chef; the food was delicious. It’s a very natural environment. Martin gave us a nice briefing when we arrived about the conservancy. The Rhino Tracking and Singing Wells activities were ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Enjoyed learning motor about the Samburu culture and people. Not a lot of wildlife but we did have an excellent rhino encounter.

We travel a lot and done a couple of safaris as well and Saruni Rhino was one of the best hotel/lodge we have been. Amazing athmosphere and staff and the rhino tracking was exciting. Food was really good and the service overall very personal. If you visit samburu you should definitely visit here as well. Remember to take a massage - it was awesome and at your own terrace.

If I could give this place 100 stars I would. We had tears in our eyes leaving this wonderful camp. Truly one of the best I have ever stayed at across multiple luxury camps in Kenya and Tanzania. The staff is absolutely incredible. Everyone is so caring, kind, and open to sharing about their culture and experiences. Jimmy, our guide, led multiple fantastic bush walks full of wildlife as well as game drives and rhino trekking. Sera conservancy is beautifully remote and untouched and Jimmy knows it like the back of his hand. Could not have asked for anyone better. Our incredible waitresses, Lizzy and Naai, took such amazing care of us throughout our stay. Their passion, kindness and drive made such a difference in our experience and we can’t wait to see Lizzy become a manager one day :). The rest of the camp staff (special shoutout to Martin and Jack) were perfectly attentive, informative, and made us feel pampered and part of the Saruni family throughout our entire stay! The rooms were exquisite, the food was delicious (thanks Steven and Edwin) and the experiences we had could not have been better. Complete with amazing sundowner spots, a beautiful candlelit dinner on the dry river bed, a traditional village visit, and samburu dancing. Watching elephants play in the watering hole during lunch and dinner is such a treat as well. This is a place that I will never forget and am eternally grateful to have hosted. If you are considering staying here, do not hesitate to book this place! You will not regret it, it is a truly magical and life changing camp!

We stayed at Saruni Rhino as part of our safari honeymoon and absolutely loved the place. Friendly staff including the manager Martin, waitress Rose, chef Steven and game driver Jimmy. The food was amazing, the accommodation was as luxury as you can get in the wild and everyone was so knowledgeable and couldn't do enough for you. We were very lucky in getting to see all the animals including the black rhino and would recommend this place to anyone. As soon as we sat down to enjoy our first meal the elephants appeared at the watering hole and it was magical. There is flexibility to do game drives, Bush walks, visit the elephant sanctuary (retiti) and see the local villages. If you plan of visiting a local village/school, I would recommend bringing any supplies for them including books, pens, crayons, balls, sanitary products and any small toys etc as they were gratefully received. The staff and location made it the perfect start to our honeymoon.

Beautiful resort and wonderful staff. Excellent place close to the rhino conservatory! Animals were viewable from our patio! Small and very intimate camp. They learned our whole family names and were all amazingly friendly .
