CECILIA RONO - Saruni Mara

We have known Cecilia for a long time and her career path has been incredibly impressive, leading up to this point where she has become the first ever Masai lady to manage a lodge. She is a warm and friendly person and fiercely intelligent. Her passion for safaris and the bush is infectious and we're not surprised safari guests absolutely adore her. She was brought up in the Mara to a father who was head of the conservancy, and instilled a great passion for the wildlife and landscape in all of his children.

She manages Saruni Mara in Kenya's Masai Mara with ruthless efficiency and big smile. Saruni Mara is a luxury yet relaxed lodge in the Northern Masai Mara boasting exceptional game viewing and a strong like to the local Masai.
