“Luxury tree house”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2013

Our stay at Sarova Shaba was wonderful - from the first welcoming towel to the final greeting. The location on the river was stunning and due to all the rain up country the river was roaring too. The view from the rooms upstairs was great. It felt like sleeping in a luxury tree house. The open lay-out creates the illusion... More

We had never been to the Samburu side of Kenya. The hotel, staff and surrounding parks were fantastic esp in Samburu National Reserve, lots to see, the rooms were absolutely awesome, food delightful, and the bush dinners rocked. I would absolutely recommend it especially for those looking for a getaway from it all. A heads up, if you drink exotic/rare... More

“Very memorable time”

What a wonderful resort in a lovely location - we spent a couple of nights here while on safari and had a very memorable time. The food was very good as were the facilities and service - and of course the wild life was fantastic. We look forward to our next visit!

Myself and my husband stayed at the Sarova Shaba Lodge in February 2013.
