Looking out over the Laikipia Plateau and the distinctive peak of Mount Kenya, Sasaab Camp features a Moroccan-style design that makes the most of the river breezes. Just nine individual cottages feature elegant four poster beds, extra large open-air bathrooms and private plunge pools, as well as spacious verandas that look out over herds of elephant bathing in the river.
Built into the hillside, the camp’s main swimming pool boasts views over the cooling river waters. Invigorating treatments using an assortment of natural Kenyan ingredients are available at the camp’s spa. For hands-on pampering, in-room massages and beauty treatments will invigorate guests. Adventures include twice-daily game drives (including spotlit night drives), walking safaris along the river or in the grasslands, day trips to the Samburu Reserve, mountain biking and cultural excursions.
