Under-the-radar in Northern Kenya
Chloe’s trip took her off well-trodden paths and into the remote corners of Northern Kenya. Staying in Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy and Laikipia, the trip’s slow pace allows time to forge deep connections with the remote, wild landscapes and its people.

Best Time To Go
June to March
Other than April and May, when Kenya enjoys their much needed rains, these destinations are excellent year round and a variety of activities can be enjoyed.
Ideal Length
7 days
We recommend spending around three to four nights in each safari location to allow time for wildlife encounters and cultural discovery.

Chloe Berge, Writer
'It's these spontaneous moments with local people that I’ll remember here in Kenya’s hinterlands, in addition to the immediacy of nature. There’s every creature comfort I could want in my private villa at Ol Lentille, but it’s the wildlife outside, and the orchestra of birdsong always within earshot, that truly work their magic.'

Key Highlights
Under-the-radar
Uncover the beauty of Northern Kenya’s remote conservancies, where cultural enrichment meets secluded game viewing.
Cultural Discovery
Embark on a cultural journey to the top of Ol Lentille Mountain; a sacred place to surrounding communities. Your Masai guide will share stories along the way and you will be rewarded with sweeping savannah views at the peak.
Exclusive Accommodation
Both Sarara Camp and Ol Lentille offer luxury retreats in some of the most remote corners of Kenya, going out of their way to celebrate their culture and wildlife encounters.
Places to Stay
Samburu, Kenya
Sarara Camp
Sarara Camp is a small and intimate camp in an impressive and remote area of northern Kenya. Carefully tucked away on the slopes of a mountain range, blanketed by iconic acacia trees, the property promises a safari full of unforgettable authentic wildlife and cultural experiences. Think long walks through the bush, learning how to bead with Samburu women, meeting orphaned elephants, and finding a natural water slide in the mountains. A passion for the local area and its conservation is deeply embedded in the team’s ethos here. Each member is keen to show you, their guests, its beauty - and you won’t be disappointed.
Laikipia, Kenya
Ol Lentille
The Sanctuary at Ol Lentille is a magnificent private collection of fully-serviced private houses perched on a wooded rocky kopje in the heart of a private conservation area.

"As a 'newbie' to the safari experience I found the preliminary information extremely useful even though I was travelling with someone who had done many similar trips before. The whole trip went perfectly smoothly with someone to greet us at every stage - it was just so relaxing."
