Sabuk Lodge
Sabuk Wilderness
Sabuk Lodge is perched on the lip of a gorge, overlooking the Ewaso N'giro River and hills beyond.
Wherever you are in the lodge you can hear the water rushing down between the rocks, and it is a wonderfully soothing sound.
On arrival you will be greeted by the Samburu who work at the lodge and who all come from local villages. They'll lead you to an enormous living and dining room with large comfortable sofas, an open fireplace, pictures of Samburu on the walls and plentiful reference books. Totally open to one side it has superb views of the river and catches the cool breeze.
Leading off from the dining room, small paths take you to a cluster of rooms. Each room is built under thatch and totally open on one side. Small stone decks have comfortable chairs and a squishy wooden bed with bright cushions - perfect for relaxing in during the day. Inside the rooms the four-poster beds are made from local wood and very comfortable. There are mirrors with painted animal frames, soft rugs on the floor and simple wardrobes. The feeling of space is lovely and even in the heat of the day the rooms remains cool. The en suite bathrooms have baths, showers and even loos with views.
Activities from Sabuk include nature walks, game drives, visits to local Samburu villages and particularly good camel treks. The base for Simon Evan's camel safaris guests can go with the camels for anything from half an hour to two weeks.
