Sasaab Lodge lodge

Welcome to Sasaab – Where the Samburu Spirit Meets Desert Luxury

In the heart of northern Kenya’s wild frontier, perched above the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River, Sasaab Lodge welcomes you into a realm where timeless culture and raw nature converge in radiant harmony. This is not just a place to stay—it’s a feeling. One of wide-open skies, ochre-red earth, distant calls of elephants, and the echo of ancient Samburu traditions.

At Sasaab, luxury is untamed—boldly woven with Moroccan-inspired design, Samburu soul, and the power of isolation. Here, every sunrise stirs the desert alive, and every night ends with the flicker of firelight and starlit wonder.

Location

Sasaab is located in the Westgate Conservancy in northern Kenya’s Samburu region, just beyond the boundary of Samburu National Reserve.
