Saruni Rhino – Sera Conservancy, Samburu

A stay at Saruni Rhino in the Sera Conservancy provides insights into the fascinating Samburu culture and way these people have long since mastered the art of survival in a challenging environment.
From its raised setting, this safari camp overlooks a dry riverbed, with shade provided by palm trees and thorny acacias.

The prospect of water and minerals draws many animals to the riverbed, making the camp the perfect place to while away a morning or afternoon watching as they come and go.

The riverbed is also the scene for many of the most memorable Saruni Rhino experiences, including starlit bush dinners, guided walking safaris, and lessons in tracking from the local guides, who draw on their expertise to identify and locate endangered species from marks in the sand that could easily escape the untrained eye.

A definite highlight is rhino tracking on foot – a unique experience made possible by the skill and anticipation of the guides. The Sera wildlife conservancy provides a sanctuary for these remarkable animals and creates livelihoods for local communities as part of a sustainable approach to wildlife conservation.
