A top quality family safari is a shared experience your family will treasure for ever. Deep in the wild heart of Kenya there are two luxurious lodges that go together to create a family holiday dreams are made of. Your light aircraft flies you over the spectacular rift valley dotted with sparkling lakes, then as the jagged profile of Mount Kenya looms on the horizon you land in the heart of Samburu country for a truly amazing Kenya safari. Most people arriving here head for the larger busy lodges of the National Reserve. Instead, your family will be taken into your own 240,000 acre private wildlife paradise – the Kalama reserve.

Saruni Samburu is Set on a hillside in Kalama with sweeping views across miles of plains and woodland toward distant mountains. There are just four beautifully designed houses which include two stunning family houses each with spacious living are and two ensuite bedrooms. They combine elegance and style with a true sense of adventure. Your days here are filled with unforgettable adventures; elephant safaris, big cat tracking and walking safaris with expert guides. Back in the lodge, friendly Samburu warriors will teach the children how to make a bow and arrow and might tempt Dad into a spear throwing contest.

Just as marvellous yet completely different is Samburu Wild, a private camp with just three luxurious tented rooms set in a secret valley in the Masai Mara. You family can take this as your own private camp where you spend your days seeking the immense migration of two million wildebeest, gazelle and zebra as they run the gauntlet of the big cats, bone crunching hyenas and circling vultures. From June to October it’s mayhem in the Mara as the migrating herds join countless giraffe, elephant, buffalo and quirky smaller creatures like warthog and baboon.

Over twenty years Africa Exclusive has sent hundreds of families on amazing safaris. Surely there are few places that can rival these Saruni camps for sheer privacy, comfort and adventure.
