From the private plunge pools to the personalized safari experiences, every moment here felt tailored just for us. We left with full hearts and a treasure trove of memories. Highly recommend!”

★★★★★
“My stay at Sasaab Camp was nothing short of spectacular. The attention to detail—from the amazing design of the tents to the fresh, garden-sourced meals—made my experience incredibly special. What really stood out was the professionalism and warmth of the staff; they made us feel like family. The cultural insights into the Samburu people added a layer of richness to the trip that you just can’t put a price on.”
Sarah L. Peters
★★★★☆
“Sasaab Camp is a slice of heaven in the heart of Kenya’s wilderness. The panoramic views of the Ewaso Nyiro River took my breath away every morning. Game drives and bush dining were top-notch, though it’s worth noting that the Wi-Fi can be a bit spotty—then again, who needs Wi-Fi when you’re surrounded by such majestic beauty? A solid 4 stars from me!”
