For 3 years running, Saruni Mara has been certified as Gold Level Eco Status by the Ecotourism Kenya Organization. This certification is awarded to accommodation facilities which have achieved superior and replicable levels of excellence in responsible resource use, environmental conservation and socio-economic development. Only 48 lodges across Kenya have reached this gold status. Saruni Mara has been recognized for its low environmental impact being a small size lodge perfectly integrated in the landscape. In addition, the solar energy, the collection and storage of rainwater, the use of biodegradable cleaning products, the proper disposal of toxic waste, the regular recycling of glass and plastic and the replacement of plastic bottles with aluminium flasks, are just some of the good practices of sustainable tourism that Saruni Mara has adopted over the years in its management.
