Sabuk Lodge is a stunning wilderness destination, perched on the high banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in the Northern Frontier District of Kenya, overlooking the Laikipia Plateau and Samburu land. Sabuk was fashioned out of the local landscape, with local materials, twisted wood, and stone boulders incorporated into the architecture.
Perched high on the riverbanks, Sabuk’s six cottages are open at the front with stunning views of the river and cliffs. Each thatched rondavel (circular cottage) has its own unique design, crafted from local stone and ancient cedar and olivewood, gathered from the local area. En-suite bathrooms, modern flush toilets, and a private veranda with a view make each cottage a haven. There is a swimming pool and you can also take a refreshing dip in the river. Perfect for family time, there is ‘Eagle’ cottage accommodating up to six persons in two bedrooms (one an exciting triple bunk), with a sitting room and a pool too.
- Full in the Loisaba Conservancy, Sabuk is situated on private land, which means there are no rules about staying in a vehicle. Visitors are encouraged to get up close to the scenery and wildlife on foot or camel and without the rush or noise of other safari vehicles.
- While game drives are certainly possible, Sabuk places an especially strong emphasis on walking safaris with the highly trained Laikipia Maasai guides, placing guests in the center of the sights and sounds of the wilderness. Here, guests are invited to be a part of Africa, not just witness it.

Bird watching is also excellent in Laikipia, and in season, the river holds a number of exciting opportunities like swimming, tubing, and fishing. Bush breakfasts and sundowners are possible, as are private meals on request.
- Enjoy a final morning game drive before breakfast or get an opportunity of riding on horseback through the bush, accompanied by an experienced guide, giving you an unparalleled opportunity to get close to wildlife, as many game species allow horses to approach very close.
