Overview

Located in the heart of Samburu in Kenya’s northern frontier, Namunyak Community Conservancy comprises a land of unparalleled beauty and coexistence. Stretching over 850,000 acres of pristine wilderness in the Mathews Range, this remote and dramatic landscape is home to the indigenous Samburu people, whose age-old traditions – including the revered ancient Singing Wells – are as much a part of the fabric of this land as the wildlife. 

Sweeping savannah plains, lush mountain slopes, and riverine forests provide the backdrop for a diverse range of species including Kenya’s second-largest elephant population, the endangered Reticulated giraffe, Grévy's zebra, leopard, wild dog, kudu and more. The conservancy is also a bird-lovers paradise with an astounding number of endemic, migratory and predatory birds.

Nestled into an ancient forest glade at the foot of Warges Peak, Sarara Treehouses emerges from a lush canopy of trees. This one-of-a-kind camp enchants guests with its majestic views, melodic birdsong, and the sounds of the area’s abundant wildlife at night. Elephants roam freely beneath the idyllic stilted tented suites and frequent the waterhole below the main area of the lodge – ensuring continuous connections with the rare magic of this special setting, and the coveted species calling it home. 

As the ideal platform for exploring the area’s natural wonders, including the nearby Mathews Range, Treehouses also provides incredible opportunities to be immersed in authentic Samburu cultural experiences, while discovering the rich historical legacy of this land. 

Perched among hundreds of indigenous trees, the lodge is a bird and wildlife enthusiast’s dream – and the region’s fascinating fauna and flora is continuously within reach. With a front-row seat to its remarkable ecosystem – whether on game drives or foot – there’s so much to experience and explore. 

 
 
Hidden in the mountains and arid plains of northern Kenya lies a place of coexistence, community, and wildlife. It’s a place that heals the soul and gives hope for the future, while giving back to the land and the people who have lived here for generations. Sarara truly is a place of peace.
