SABUK LODGE – NORTHERN LAIKIPIA

Sabuk is remote and beautiful – an exclusive wilderness haven on the edge of the Northern Laikipia Plateau. The lodge is perched on a cliff overlooking the Ewaso Nyiro River which cascades beneath the lodge all year round. Sabuk, which remains a family home, offers wilderness and stunning views of the Laikipia plains towards Mount Kenya, as well as the Karisa Hills and Mathews Mountains in the North.

LOCATION

Sabuk Lodge is located in northern Laikipia in northern Kenya

LODGE

Sabuk has four spacious en-suite suite open-fronted stone and thatched cottages, with private verandas and stunning views overlooking the river valley below.  Some of the rooms come with star-beds so you can literally fall asleep under the African sky.

Eagle Cottage is two fantastic en-suite cottages – one with king size bed and one twin. This family unit has its own exclusive ‘mess’ and dining area as well as plunge pool.

The Family House has one double bed and one single bed upstairs, together with a fireplace and sitting area by the fire, and also an amazing view of the valley.  Downstairs are beds for children molded into the rocks and 1 small bed (up to about 5 years old). Downstairs is all enclosed and very safe – there is one en-suite bathroom with an outside bath, a toilet, sink and a shower/bath.

The Family Room is one double bed plus three single beds as triangular bunk beds (two down one up in the middle). The bathroom is en-suite with a shower, sink and outside bath, and a toilet with a view. There is also an outside lounge/bed.

The resident chef has been with Sabuk for many years and is superb at rusliting up delicious fresh home-cooked meals. Steaming hot cups of Kenyan tea and coffee are available at first light, fresh and seasonal fruit is served at breakfast. All meals are cooked with a healthy appetite in mind.  Meals are served family styled in our homely dining room or on the terrace. The family approach to dining means all ages and all tastes are catered for.
