Best hotels in Matthew's Range

Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy, in the remote reaches of northern Kenya, is a conservation success story. Here, in this 75,000-hectare wilderness at the foothills of the Mathews mountain range, the wildlife and Samburu cattle farmers co-exist harmoniously. And it's here you'll find the only camp for hundreds of kilometres. Location? Tick. Great accommodation and good food? Absolutely! Sarara Tented Camp is a completely private, super-luxury tented camp in a fairytale setting. It's worth every cent and every minute you spend on the long journey there.

Sarara House is an exclusive two-bedroom house that is perfect for families or friends and includes a magnificent plunge pool, private dining, and spacious lounge area with awe-inspiring views. Sarara House has become famous for its elephants, who regularly visit its pool – much to guests’ delight! As one of Sarara’s most cherished up-close experiences, it’s also a wonderful photo opportunity to quietly watch them amble by to sip some water.

With its captivating cliffside setting and dramatic views of Namunyak’s mountains and plains, this exclusive-use lodge allows families and small groups to experience Kenya’s pristine northern frontier in complete privacy, and on their own terms.
