Sasaab

About

Sasaab combines opulence with a deep connection to nature. Inspired by Moroccan architecture, the lodge is designed to maximise shade while maintaining open-air spaces to embrace the wilderness. The property is part of the Westgate Community Conservancy, ensuring guests have access to exceptional wildlife encounters while supporting local conservation efforts. With a strong emphasis on sustainability, Sasaab operates with eco-friendly practices and engages closely with the surrounding Samburu community.

The lodge features nine spacious tented suites, each offering over 100 square metres of living space. Designed to balance luxury with the rugged beauty of the landscape, the rooms feature large canvas walls that open to reveal sweeping views of the river and surrounding plains. Each suite has a private plunge pool, an open-air bathroom, and a secluded outdoor seating area — perfect for relaxing while spotting wildlife. Interiors are adorned with rich fabrics and decorative touches inspired by Moroccan design, creating a blend of style and comfort.

Dining at Sasaab is a memorable experience, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients used to prepare delicious meals that blend international cuisine with regional influences. Meals are served in the open-air dining area, where guests can enjoy breathtaking views while dining under the African sky. For those seeking a more intimate experience, private dining can be arranged in scenic spots around the property.

Activity

Sasaab offers a wide range of experiences that immerse guests in the Samburu wilderness. Daily game drives provide opportunities to spot iconic African wildlife, including elephants, lions, and leopards, as well as the unique ‘Samburu Special Five’ — Beisa oryx, reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, gerenuk, and Somali ostrich. Guided walking safaris allow guests to connect with the landscape on foot. For a cultural experience, guests can visit a local Samburu village to learn about their traditions and way of life. Additionally, the lodge offers soothing spa treatments.
