Sasaab Camp

Location

By air: twice daily scheduled flights from Nairobi into Samburu National Reserve.
By road: 6 hour drive from Nairobi, north past Mt Kenya and up into the Northern Frontier District.

Highlights

• Kids can spend a few hours with Daudi on the Nature Trail. They will learn how to make a Samburu bow & arrow, and how to make a traditional Samburu toothbrush from the toothbrush tree.
• Majestically situated on the high banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River (Kenya’s third largest watercourse), Sasaab commands breathtaking views across the arid landscape of the Northern Frontier District towards the jagged peak of Mt Kenya
• The safari experience in Samburu land is vastly different to that found in any other part of Kenya. The Samburu Special Five (Grevy’s Zebra, Reticulated Giraffe, Somali Ostrich, Gerenuk and Beisa Oryx) are found in the area, whilst a strong cultural aspect complements the wildlife watching.
• The Samburu people are fiercely proud of their cultural tradition, and delight in sharing their customs with guests, making interaction with locals a major highlight in any visit to Sasaab.
• Community involvement and strong environmental ethics pervade Sasaab’s operation, and over 70% of the staff at the lodge are local employees. Water is solar heated, and recycled where possible, whilst every effort is made to purchase food and source materials locally.
