Accommodation Options
Cottages
The four cottages are built on a hill over looking the Masai Mara plains. Beautifully furnished and spacious, with a bedroom and an en-suite bathroom, the cottages have a large front deck for relaxing in the day and stargazing at night. Each cottage is furnished with a traditional theme. They are large, comfortable and overlook the valley where the lodge is located, surrounded by pure nature.
Honeymoon Cottage
The honeymoon cottage is the perfect romantic retreat, simply and elegantly designed for long hours of relaxation. The Love Shack is a wonderfully secluded cottage, known as Saruni Mara's Honeymoon Suite. The neutral colour scheme, elegant furnishings and beautiful antiques create a feeling of classic elegance and romance. The en-suite bedroom is very spacious, and opens out onto a large veranda with a magnificent view of the valley leading onto the Masai plains - the perfect private dining area.
Private Villa
The private villa is a beautiful, private wilderness home, with two bedrooms and a children's bedroom upstairs, two bathrooms, a lounge and dining room, kitchen and large veranda. Nyati House is booked exclusively and is located a 5 minute drive away from Saruni Mara in its own secluded valley. Perfect for groups or families looking for privacy and wanting to experience the Masai Mara on their own schedule and in the comfort of their own wilderness home. Equipped with your own safari vehicle and guide and with meals in your own dining room, guests at Nyati House have a very personal experience. The house has a unique style with lots of wooden features and natural elements. The rooms are spacious and overlook your very own view of the Mara plains. There is a large front garden for children to enjoy.
Family Cottage
Perfect for families or a group of friends, this stylish new family villa has two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, with a large lounge and dining area in between. There is also an impressive, large veranda overlooking the magnificent scenery of the Maasai Mara, and a lovely big fireplace in the lounge to enjoy in the evenings. Guests can have private dinners in their dining area in the villa. The villa is decorated with a selection of antique and vintage prints according to the theme of Natural History.
Dining & Cuisine
Our Saruni Cuisine
"Tell me what you eat, I'll tell you who you are", famously said gastronome Anthelme Brillat-Savarin. At Saruni we believe in the importance of good, healthy and tasty meals. Our cuisine has a strong Italian flavor but we also love to experiment with the great ingredients that are found in Kenya, especially fish and vegetables. We easily accommodate vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free (you name it) and guests who have special requests. Food can be tailored to suit children’s requirements and earlier meal times can be arranged where necessary. Some options include but are not limited to the usual ‘treats’: pizza, plain pasta or pasta with tomato sauce, chicken or burgers with chips etc.
