Sarara Tree Camp

Sarara Tree Camp is situated within the vast lands of the Namunyak Wildlife Conservation Trust of the Samuru Reserve, spanning approximately 850,000 acres that gracefully embrace the southern region of the renowned Mathews Mountain Range in northern Kenya. This remarkable area serves as the ancestral homeland of the resilient Samburu tribespeople, a semi-nomadic pastoralist community that has long coexisted harmoniously with the abundant wildlife that shares their lands. The conservation efforts undertaken by the Namunyak Trust have yielded remarkable success. In the aftermath of the devastating ivory poaching crisis during the 1970s and early 1980s, the Mathews Ranges were left bereft of any recorded elephants by 1985. Today, thanks to dedicated conservation endeavors, the southern Mathews Range area is home to several thousand elephants, thriving and peacefully breeding alongside a diverse array of wildlife species such as buffalo, lion, leopard, cheetah, African wild dog, greater and lesser kudu, gerenuk, reticulated giraffe, impala, and dik-dik.
