Sanctuary Tambarare

Nestled amongst fever trees in the shadow of Mount Kenya is Sanctuary Tambarare, a quintessential destination for nature enthusiasts seeking a luxurious and eco-friendly safari experience.

Opened in June 2022, Sanctuary Tambarare is the most exclusive lodge in the award-winning Ol Pejeta Conservancy, with only ten tents and a private villa set deep in 90,000 acres of pristine African plains. Not only will you find the Big Five roaming here, but Ol Pejeta is also the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa, as well as home to the two remaining northern white rhinos on earth. A tribute to the region’s conservation efforts, Sanctuary Tambarare echoes this profound respect for nature with thoughtful design that makes a minimal impact on the surrounding flora and fauna, without skimping on wow-factor.

The camp's lounge boasts soaring ceilings offset by low-hanging, Afro-centric chandeliers and elegant portraits of beautiful Samburu women, complete with comfortable sofas and chairs encouraging guests to linger and soak up the sophisticated ambience. With so few guests an intimate experience is guaranteed, complemented by seamless, intuitive service.

Strategically located to face a watering hole and favourite gathering place for an extraordinary variety of game, guests can revel in cinematic views of buffaloes and zebras, rhinos, elands, and other animal species grazing on the plains while they enjoy drinks or dinner.

With 10 spacious and airy tents, and a brand new private villa, expect vibrant décor that reflects local culture, with teak floors and Maasai art.
