Expert tips:

Please note that Sasaab is located in the semi arid northern region of Kenya, where rainfall is sporadic. There is wildlife around, though sightings are not as prolific as other parks in Kenya. Most activities take place on the private reserve around the lodge, where unique and endangered species such as Grevy's Zebra and Reticulated Giraffe can be spotted, plus elephants frequent the river in front of the lodge. Game drives into the Samburu National Reserve are also possible, however, you should then expect to see many more other people, and especially at predator sightings. 

The Sasaab experience  is more about being able to walk and hike with local guides, visit remote Sambura villages, and enjoying the incredible setting on the banks of Ewaso Nyiro River  Sasaab is not about seeing tons of animals and game drives twice per day.

Included:

  • Breakfast, lunch & dinner.
  • Scheduled flight to Samburu.
  • Scheduled (not private activities) from Sasaab.

Excluded:

  • Optional extra activities, spa treatments.
