An Authentic Nature Experience Near the Masai Mara
Saruni Mara is situated in a secluded valley in the heart of the Mara North Conservancy, a private concession just outside the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve. With five elegant cottages, a family home, and a private villa, it offers a wonderful experience.
Game drives in the Mara North Conservancy, Masai Mara National Park, and surrounding parks; night drives; walking safaris; hiking; a visit to the local Masai market; and a hot-air balloon ride over the Mara Plains. These are just a few of the activities Saruni offers in this magnificent setting.
