We stayed at the lodge late Feb 2013 the second stop on our 2 week safari. We stayed here in 2010 and loved the richly appointed lodge. This time the property, management, staff, accommodations and food ranked 5 STARS. Doug and Tanya are great hosts and made our stay memorable. It is a great location to view lots of wildlife....

I am overdue with writing this review. My husband and I actually visited in October 2011 and after traveling extensively through Kenya, I have to say that this is one of our very favorite lodges. The setting is spectacularly situated above the river where elephants visit to drink from it. The cottages and baths are gorgeously designed and huge and... More

This review is long overdue but I had to comment on how amazing our visit was. My husband and I spent 2 night and so wish we could have stayed longer. Tanya and Doug are two of the nicest people you will ever meet. They are so warm and welcoming that you feel like family. I celebrated my birthday while... More

Somewhere before Nanyuki i received a phone call and it was Doug explaining that he is calling from Sasaab to check on me, find out how far we’d come and let me know i can reach him incase of anything! That was the first real realization that this place is more like visiting a friend for a sleepover than going... More

Beautiful relaxing setting. Plunge pools by every "tent" are a nice touch. I've been twice. When I went in October, we saw lots of animals. When I went in February, not so much. Really think on game. Pick the right time of year!

Sasaab is an amazing lodge set in an absolutely stunning landscape with wonderful and diverse wildlife. The activities are as varied as they are interesting - from traditional game drives, walking, camel riding, cultural visits to the local Samburu etc. Whatever you choose, Tania and Douglas make it happen with apparent ease. In addition Tania and Douglas’ hosting is excellent,... More

This place is just too good to be true! We had a very sad time leaving thanks to the stunning location (Samburu has some of the best scenery in Africa), impeccable service, friendly and welcoming staff and hosts, fantastic game viewing and mouthwatering cuisine at each and every meal. This place really does have everything, the lodge it the ultimate... More

This was our first time to Sasaab and definitely not our last. Sasaab was our last stop before heading home. We were greeted at the airstrip by Michael and Jacob. They remained with us every day during our stay. The lodge and tents are gorgeous. Our hosts Doug and Tanya went out of their way to accomodate us in any... More

We (6 adults) absolutely loved the Lodge and both reserves. The Lodge is top notch and extremely comfortable and elegant with no detail ignored. What set this lodge apart was the amazing people who run it and who work there. The owners were hilarious, welcoming, and so so so friendly. We loved hanging out with them. The staff are a... More
