About Saruni BaseCamp Mara
Saruni Basecamp Mara is a luxury eco camp located in the heart of the Maasai Mara National Reserve. A favorite of Barack Obama, basecamp stands to be one of the many best camps in Masai Mara to support locals and improve and sensitize people about wildlife and environmental conservation.
Situated along the Talek River in a lush forest, the camp has a serene atmosphere. Birds and monkeys live just outside the tents, all built along the banks of the river on the border with the national reserve. The dense riverbed foliage allows for maximum privacy and comfort, without compromising the view of the national reserve.
The team who manage Basecamp Masai Mara are from the local community and are the proud landowners who benefit from tourism and conservation.
The closeness to the community makes the camp different and special from other Maasai Mara properties and represents an example of partnership and friendship between the community, the investors, and our visitors.

Game Drives
Game drives tend to be the principal means of going about spotting wildlife, and are likely to comprise a great deal of your safari – so it goes without saying that this aspect of your experience is a special point of focus for us. We believe the way to get the most out of your time is that everyone is furnished with their exclusive vehicle, and private spotter and guide
Balloon Safaris
Balloon flights are available daily in Maasai Mara and take off from designated sites where the disturbance to animals is kept to a minimum. Your safari vehicle drops you off at the take-off site and picks you up from your landing site. The flight is followed by a champagne breakfast “in the bush”, with a well-laid-out seating arrangement and waiters on hand, to give you a fitting finale to your memorable flight in the wild.
Game Guided Walks
Offering a refreshingly alternative view of the wilderness, a guided nature walk promises panoramic vistas, gentle exercise, and a fascinating insight into the world of African trees, flowers, insects, reptiles, birds, and animals. It also offers the ultimate contrast to the game drive.
Maasai Village Visit
A visit to a Maasai village is almost inevitable when travelling to the Maasai Mara. The Maasai (or Masai) are mostly known for the colourful garments and jewellery they wear, their warriors and high jumps, which continue to fascinate tourists.
