Founded on a shared commitment to conservation and community empowerment, Saruni Basecamp, a new luxury conservation-focused safari brand, has launched in Kenya. Basecamp Explorer, a long-operating hotel group with properties in Kenya’s Masai Mara region, acquired Saruni, a luxury safari company with properties in the Masai Mara and Samburu, with the vision to expand and support a community conservancy model of tourism operations in East Africa. This unified entity brings together a 12-property portfolio of pioneering safari lodges and camps, all rooted in community-based conservation and sustainable tourism. This collection of camps and lodges offers ‘Big Five’ game-viewing opportunities with night-drives, off-roading, family-friendly safari activities, and lots of do-good experiences, such as tree-planting, fair- trade women’s jewellery collaborations, and a tour of a wildlife and Maasai education centre.
