In addition, we are experts in creating the ultimate bucket-list adventures throughout Kenya and East Africa. So dream big, because whatever your vision, we would love to make it happen. Our passionate and energetic team are waiting to welcome you on your Kenya luxury safari.
The Sasaab Safari Lodge in Kenya is in proximity to the Buffalo Springs National Reserves in the country's Northern Frontier District.
Sasaab is home to an abundance of wildlife with large herds of elephants, as well as lions, leopards and cheetahs including the Samburu Special Five. These are the Beisa oryx, reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s Zebra, Gerenuk antelope and Somali ostrich.
The friendly and warm hospitality of the attentive staff strives to make every safari experience of guests unforgettable. The lodge's ideal location on the river naturally allows watching the herds of elephant that come to quench their thirst and bath.
Sasaab is located in the Westgate Community Conservancy, west of Samburu National Reserve in Kenya’s Northern Frontier District. Sasaab is the only tourist initiative in the area, and is heavily involved with both community and environmental sustainability.
Room Types
Luxury Suite
(7 ROOMS)
The luxury suites are incredibly spacious and designed to act as a private sanctuary. Each has a private plunge pool, chill out space (either a veranda or mini-garden), and large open-air bathrooms. Every room is intensely private. The lodge is situated on quite a steep bank, so it is recommended that anyone with walking difficulties requests a room near to the mess, which is easily accessible.
Family Suite
(1 ROOM)
Sasaab has a family unit with two interconnecting rooms which is ideal for two couples travelling together as well as families. The family unit also has one private plunge pool.

BY AIR:
Samburu airstrip is a 70 kilometres (approx 1 and a half hour drive from
Sasaab) and is frequented by daily scheduled flights from Nairobi / Nanyuki / Masai
Mara region. Sasaab airstrip is just 10 minute drive from the lodge and is not used by
any of the scheduled flight airlines but can be used for charter flights.
BY ROAD:
By road from Nairobi, Sasaab is accessible in around six hours driving time.
June to August is a fantastic time to visit Sasaab with sunny days, but not too hot. Its a great time for game viewing and an excellent time for Samburu community interaction (warriors and livestock tend to be resident at this time of the year).
Temperatures: Max: 31C/88F * Min: 14C/57F. December is the summer time but there are chances of rain - it is a good time to see game.
Jan and Feb is the hottest time of year (Max: 34C/93F * Min: 14C/57F ) T days are beautiful and this can be great for game viewing as the animals keep close to the river (next to the lodge).
