Activities at Sarara Treehouses
Activities at Sarara, Sarara Treehouses and Reteti House
Activities include day and night games drives, horseback riding, walks, optional fly camping, a seasonal water slide, village visits, the giraffe viewing platform, and of course the wonderful Reteti elephant orphanage, located only a few minutes from Reteti House (or a 45 minute drive from Sarara or Sarara Treehouses).
One of the most authentic cultural experiences to be had in the country is to visit the "Sarara singing wells." Especially in the dry season, the local Samburu herders visit "wells" that they have dug in the dry river bed, sometimes five men deep and each belonging to a specific family. They then sing to their livestock who recognize the song and know where and in what order to come to drink. In keeping with the whole community and conservation ethos of Sarara, these same wells are then utilised at night by local wildlife, including elephants and leopards.
