Sasaab Lodge

Sasaab is a stunning luxury-tented camp in the heart of the Samburu wilderness. Perched on the edge of a river valley, the architecture of Sasaab blends Swahili and Moroccan design principles, with the African heat of primary consideration. Each of the eleven canvas-sided rooms is over 100m² with private plunge pools and breathtaking views across the Laikipia Plateau toward the jagged peaks of Mount Kenya. Its position above the river naturally facilitates watching the herds of elephants that come to bathe below and a host of other wildlife.

Built into the hillside, the camp’s main swimming pool boasts views over the cooling river waters. The camp's spa offers invigorating treatments using an assortment of natural Kenyan ingredients. For hands-on pampering, in-room massages and beauty treatments will invigorate guests. Adventures include twice-daily game drives (including spotlit night drives), walking safaris along the river or in the grasslands, day trips to the Samburu Reserve, mountain biking, and cultural excursions.

Sasaab Lodge Tented Camps

Sasaab is a spectacular luxury-tented camp offering the ultimate safari in Samburu. Situated just outside Samburu National Reserve in Kenya’s Northern Frontier District, the landscape is dotted with mountains, wildlife and a rich cultural heritage. It is a place of abundant natural diversity with an astounding number of animals, from elephants to cheetah and wild dogs to the ‘Samburu Special Five’ (five species unique to the area): the Beisa oryx, reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Gerenuk antelope and Somali ostrich.

Activities at Sasaab Lodge

Sasaab offers a fabulous range of exciting activities for everyone, from exploring the wilderness on foot, camel or quadbike, to fly-camping under the stars and epic helicopter experiences in Kenya’s remote north. A stunning infinity pool and spa area create serene spaces in which to relax against a backdrop of nature, perfect for those seeking a slower safari experience whilst others are out exploring.
