Sasaab Samburu

Perched on the edge of a dramatic river valley, Sasaab combines Swahili and Moroccan architectural influences designed to embrace the African heat. Each of the eleven spacious canvas-sided rooms spans over 100m², featuring private plunge pools and panoramic views across the Laikipia Plateau toward the rugged peaks of Mount Kenya. Its elevated position above the river provides a natural vantage point to observe herds of elephants bathing below, along with a wide variety of other wildlife.

Sasaab is a premier luxury tented camp offering an unparalleled safari experience in Samburu. Located just outside Samburu National Reserve in Kenya’s Northern Frontier District, the area is rich in mountains, wildlife, and cultural heritage. The landscape is teeming with biodiversity, from elephants and cheetah to wild dogs, and is home to the famed ‘Samburu Special Five’, Beisa oryx, reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Gerenuk antelope, and Somali ostrich—making it a truly exceptional destination for wildlife enthusiasts.
