Saruni Rhino Camp
Saruni Rhino Camp is the first community owned rhino sanctuary in Africa. This intimate camp offers an authentic northern Kenya experience with incredible wildlife and people.
Responsible Tourism
Saruni Rhino works together with the Northern Rangelands Trust to improve the living conditions for the local Samburu people who are members of the two group ranches that collectively make up the Sera Community Conservancy, and is providing them with income generated by tourism.
Saruni Rhino is committed to employing most of our staff from this small community. At least 90% of the team members at Saruni Rhino are local Samburu men and women and are trained by the camp.
The camp has been designed and built in an ecofriendly way so as to have the minimum possible impact on the environment.
