The airy design of the nine rooms with open archways, private plunge pools and large verandas, keeps guests cool and comfortable and makes the most of the beautiful views over the Laikipia Plateau towards Mount Kenya. 2

A DAY AT Sasaab

Offering a wonderful mix of tranquillity and adventure, Sasaab makes the most of its special location in the 35,000-hectare Westgate Community Conservancy, west of Samburu National Reserve.

Guests can opt to enjoy the panoramic views from their veranda or private plunge pool, or spend some time at SpaSaab indulging in a spa treatment or two, featuring therapeutic indigenous ingredients.

There are many activities to fill your days, including game drives led by Samburu guides, exploring the terrain of the Northern Frontier on a camel ride, or guided walks alongside the river. Another option is to spend a night under the stars on a special fly camping experience.

One of the highlights of a stay at Sasaab is spending time learning about the culture and traditions of the Samburu by interacting with the lodge staff, visiting a local village or perhaps a market. This can be even more rewarding for those travelling with children, who will learn some traditional skills, such as how to make a bow and arrow and a bush toothbrush.

Always flexible to the needs of their guests, Sasaab is a distinctive and remote retreat for those seeking wide-open spaces, a calm environment and a touch of adventure.

ENJOY 4 NIGHTS AT ANGAMA MARA

Perched high above the floor of Africa’s Great Rift Valley and inspired by the Swahili word for ‘suspended in mid-air’, Angama Mara overlooks the Maasai Mara. With two intimate camps of just 15 tented suites each, here you will find a place where everything is just as it ought to be –with tailor-made safari days and a famously warm Kenyan welcome. 3

A DAY AT Angama Mara

Guests staying at Angama Mara are faced with many choices of how they wish to spend their day. Sunrise hot-air balloon safaris, photographing Africa’s abundant wildlife, walking on the edge of the Great Rift Valley, or visiting a Maasai family in their home –these are just a few of the adventures on offer.

Wake up before the dawn and fly over the Mara in a hot air balloon, game viewing as you float gently past, or sleep in late and watch the sunrise with a steaming coffee, orange juice and a freshly-baked something delicious.

Spend the days out on safari: the Maasai Mara never fails to deliver extraordinary wildlife sightings – head out at sunrise with a picnic breakfast and be back for lunch; head out after breakfast with a picnic lunch; or a favourite, pack two picnics and spend the whole day exploring the Mara and its bountiful wildlife – this is one of the loveliest game drives of all

Or relax at the lodge: with a book by the pool, on a red rocking chair safari on your tent deck or a gentle walk up the kopje where many of the lovely scenes from the movie Out of Africa were filmed –complete with a romantic picnic on the rocks, just for you.

As the sun dips behind the escarpment, toast the end of the day with Maasai warriors at the Boma and dine on classic safari food – with not a buffet in sight.
