Sasaab safari lodge is home to seven double tents that feel tranquil and secluded, offering incredible panoramic views and luxurious amenities.

Each tent has an area over 100m², with four-poster king-sized beds, a spacious lounge, and a sophisticated bathroom with a rain shower. To make the most of the incredible scenery, enjoy a private veranda, with sun loungers and a plunge pool, ideal for spotting wildlife.

The double tents also have a rooftop stargazing bed, so you can take in the spectacularly clear skies of Samburu National Reserve, and fall asleep to the relaxing hum of the bush.

Double tents sleep two people, but there are also family suites available.

Sasaab’s menu takes inspiration from local Samburu people, blending local specialities with popular North African cuisine. Thanks to the lodge’s remote location, recipes are centred around the ingredients grown in Sasaab’s kitchen garden, or ‘shamba’ in Swahili.

The delicious food can be enjoyed in the restaurant, on the terrace, on private verandas or even in the bush. There is also a poolside pizza oven for a more relaxed meal and you can unwind in the bar in the evenings.

For an unforgettable experience, enjoy breakfast in the bush, when wildlife is often most active.

Sundowners at Sasaab are also spectacular. The nearby ‘Sundowner Rock’ is known locally as one of the best places for a sunset. Choose to take a leisurely 40 minute walk, ride a camel, take the short drive. Whichever way you travel, you’ll be rewarded at the top with a drink of your choice, some delicious ‘bitings’, or canapés, and an incredible view.

As well as the private plunge pools in each room, if you wander down from the main lodge, you’ll find a stunning infinity pool, with amazing views over the bush and the Ewaso Nyiro River.

Sasaab has also developed the ‘4C Centre’. Here, you can learn about Samburu culture and the region’s striking geology in the museum, you can enjoy a treatment at the spa, you can take advantage of the outdoor gym and the lap pool, or pick up a keepsake from the boutique shop.

Sasaab is surrounded by incredible natural diversity, which you can experience on game drives. Explore the Westgate Conservancy, as well as Samburu National Reserve, in search of elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs and incredible birdlife. The area is also home to the ‘Samburu Special 5’ wildlife.

To gain a different perspective of the Kenyan wilderness, take to the skies for a helicopter ride (additional cost).

There are several other ways to explore Samburu. Enjoy bush walks, accompanied by an experienced guide, go quad biking, or even ride a camel!

For a once-in-a-lifetime experience, you can venture into the bush overnight, with the mobile expedition camp.
