Kenya Safari Accommodation And More at Sabuk Lodge and Cottages
- Home to Simon Evans and his base for camel safaris, Sabuk remains a family home. Sabuk re-architected the lodge, retaining the sense of peace and home comforts: the open dining room and sitting room are welcoming, decorated with colorful scatter cushions, an eclectic mix of hand crafted furniture and hand-woven rugs.
- Our guest cottages are secluded; each has a unique design, open-fronted with generous double or twin beds, hand carved wooden furniture and en-suite bathrooms with flush toilets and pressurized hot showers.
- Sabuk is known for its sumptuous baths: cottages 4 and 5 are particular favorites with deep stone baths and amazing views.
- You are lulled by the sight and sound of the river day and night, soothing and reassuring, so that you miss it when you have to leave.
- Children are very welcome at Sabuk Accommodations. Early mealtimes, a baby 'look out' service and big day beds and cushions for siestas make this a restful haven for families on safari.
- The safari campfire stone circle lit every night, as evening falls is a soothing ritual at the end of the day for children of all ages.
- Sabuk Cottages works closely with the community. The Laikipiak Maasai share their tribal and bush craft skills, giving fire lighting demonstrations, tracking animal spoor, pointing out the medicinal and other uses of the local flora, teaching a new way of looking at the wilderness surrounding you.
- Simon and his team have been operating walking assisted camel safaris for the last 20 years and continue to do so. This age old style of safari can be tailor-made to suit all guests - all ages and all levels of fitness. Walking or riding, the choice is up to you - a camel's back is a great vantage point for the surrounding scenery This is the ultimate retreat from the rat race: no cars, no tarmac roads, just the African bush...
- Sabuk Cottages is an addictive getaway for a couple, a group of friends or a family... there is space and something special for each of you: be as active or as passive as you choose. Guests staying at the lodge can enjoy a taste of a full camel safari with half and full day bush walks with camels, led by the trained Laikipiak Maasai Guides across the dry-lake bed or following the river path across the plains.
