Sasaab
About Sasaab
Overlooking the Ewaso Nyiro River in the arid northern landscape of Samburu, Sasaab stands out for its unique blend of Moroccan-inspired design and traditional safari tented comfort. The lodge is perched high on a rocky ridge, offering sweeping views of the river valley where elephants often congregate to drink. The accommodation consists of spacious, airy structures that capitalize on the open views and cooling river breezes. The focus here is on the rugged, semi-arid beauty of the Samburu region, home to special desert-adapted species like the reticulated giraffe and Somali ostrich. Whether relaxing by the infinity pool or exploring the riverbanks with expert guides, Sasaab provides a visually striking, adventurous experience that feels both indulgent and remarkably connected to the wild.
Why we like it
The striking, North African-inspired architecture is a refreshing departure from standard safari designs, and the riverfront views are consistently among the most dramatic in northern Kenya.
