Sasaab

Westgate Conservancy, near Samburu National Reserve, Kenya

A striking Moroccan-inspired lodge above the Ewaso Nyiro River, on the edge of the Samburu ecosystem.

Overview

Sasaab sits above the Ewaso Nyiro River on the Westgate Conservancy bordering Samburu, its Moroccan-inspired architecture and infinity pools giving it one of the more distinctive design profiles anywhere on Kenya’s northern safari circuit.

Rooms & Table

The Rooms

Domed, open-fronted suites with private infinity pools, each with sweeping views over the river valley below.

Food & Service

A refined, Mediterranean-influenced dining programme served with river valley views.

Activities

Game drives across the Westgate Conservancy and into Samburu National Reserve, camel safaris, and cultural visits with local Samburu communities.

Wildlife & Photography

The conservancy shares Samburu’s dry-country ‘special five’ species, including Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe and gerenuk, alongside elephant along the river.

A Photographer's Note

The lodge’s elevated infinity-pool decks give a naturally framed wide view over the river valley, useful for landscape-inclusive wildlife shots.

Conservation & Impact

Sasaab’s presence supports the Westgate Community Conservancy, one of several community-run conservancies bordering Samburu that channel tourism revenue directly to local Samburu landowners.
