Sabuk is all about the fabulous camel walks and safaris with fly camps together with a rich cultural experience and heartbeat. Majestic nights spent out under starry skies , rolling hills and adventures,moments of anticipation, excitement shared with your guides and safari team. Sabuk have been running camel safaris in this area for the past 25 years.

Mount Kenya is visible across the Laikipia plains while the Mathews Range and the Karissia Hills dream to the north. Endangered African wild dogs inhabit Sabuk alongside elephants, lions, buffaloes and a host of other African mammals. The abundant birdlife rivals the game for beauty and diversity.

Sabuk is co-owned and managed by Verity Williams, a professional safari guide with many years’ experience, who lives here with her family. The lodge melds exotic adventure and exclusivity with all the comforts of home, without sacrificing environmental sustainability.

There are six spacious en-suite open fronted stone & thatched cottages with private verandahs and stunning views as well as a family unit that has its own exclusive ‘mess area’ and plunge pool. Some of the cottages have ‘star-beds’ as well as the normal bed inside, for when the weather is right there is nothing better than falling asleep under the sparkling African night sky.

Guests may never want to leave the luxurious open-fronted cottages crafted from local driftwood, boulders and thatch, with their wonderful views. Some even have star beds, open to an African night sky studded with stars. Yet that would mean foregoing the infinity pool, and the nature walks, birding and camel walks, lessons in bushcraft from the lodge’s knowledgeable guides, bush breakfasts, picnics and sundowners, swimming and tubing in the river, exciting game drives and cultural visits to the Masai and Samburu… What a delicious dilemma!
