Saruni Basecamp was built on a simple conviction that land endures when it holds real value for the people who live alongside it. Our camps run entirely on solar energy, single-use plastics have been eliminated, and all organic waste is composted with remaining waste responsibly recycled. More than 87% of our team are recruited directly from neighbouring Maasai and Samburu communities, led by an entirely Kenyan workforce. Every stay contributes to the protection of wildlife, the continuity of culture, and the livelihoods of the people this land belongs to.
