Location

Samburu, Kenya

Sasaab Lodge sits adjacent to Samburu, Kenya, within arid northern Kenya country along riverine corridors and open scrub.

Most travellers reach Samburu by light aircraft from Nairobi, especially on higher-end itineraries.

Driving is possible and can work as part of a northern Kenya circuit, but journey times are longer and the experience is less seamless than flying.

Perfect for The Curator & The Architect

Sasaab Lodge speaks first to The Curator travellers through design, setting, and service that sharpen the sense of place. The Architect adds connection, ease, and memories made together. Together, the fit is less about ticking off features and more about matching the lodge to the traveller's natural safari tempo.

Accomodation

What kinds of rooms are avaliable?
