Overview

Embark on an unforgettable 3-5 day safari into the heart of Kenya’s Maasai Mara ecosystem, staying at the canopy-perched Saruni Eagle View camp in the Mara Naboisho Conservancy. Elevated high atop an escarpment, the camp offers sweeping panoramas over the plains and a chance to witness wildlife around a natural waterhole right below your tent. Between dawn and dusk, guided game drives, walking safaris, sundowners, and night excursions await, making every moment a rich immersion into African wilderness.

Over the course of your stay, you’ll experience the rhythms of the Mara: waking early for golden light, tracking big cats and elephant herds, sharing stories around a fire under starlit skies, and learning about local Maasai culture and conservation efforts. The balance of active exploration and relaxed indulgence—lounging on your private deck, sipping sundowner drinks, or enjoying a spa treatment—makes this a journey that resonates long after departure.

The Camp: Saruni Eagle View

Saruni Eagle View (part of the Saruni Basecamp group) is situated on a commanding ridge above the Mara Naboisho Conservancy, giving guests uninterrupted views over the Koiyaki plains and wildlife visiting the watering hole below. Following a recent refurbishment, its design emphasizes the merging of interior space with natural surroundings—large mesh walls, elevated decks, and minimal visual obstruction all help maintain a sense of connection to the wild.

Each guest tent is generous in size, with private bathrooms, dual showers (indoor + open-air), and a deck from which you can watch the landscape unfold. The camp also operates with strong ecological and community principles: it holds a Gold ecotourism rating, supports local Maasai employment, uses solar power and rainwater harvesting, and encourages reforestation and community projects.
