Northern Frontier

You'll explore the tranquil oasis of Samburu at Sarara Camp and Treehouses, a hidden gem in Northern Kenya's Namunyak Conservancy, away from the typical tourist trails.

Join a thrilling rhino tracking expedition led by dedicated local rangers and engage deeply in the vibrant local culture with the Samburu people, often affectionately known as the "butterfly people" due to their decorative style of dress, their deep reliance on livestock, and a local way of life.
This exclusive experience offers an intimate glimpse into nature's wonders and vital conservation efforts, leaving travelers with unforgettable memories and a profound appreciation for this remarkable destination.
