Sarova Shaba Game Lodge ISIOLO, KENYA
Nestled within the scenic and vast terrains of Northern Kenya lies the Shaba National Reserve, a truly extraordinary destination that offers a unique blend of experiences. This community-owned reserve is a gateway to immersive adventures, providing wide open spaces and thrilling wildlife encounters. Visitors often find themselves so close to elephants and reticulated giraffes that they can almost smell them. Sarova Shaba Game Lodge, the only game lodge
within the reserve, sits in a natural oasis and offers a perfect blend of modern comforts and the rustic charm of the African bush. Surrounded by lush indigenous vegetation, the lodge’s greenery contrasts beautifully with the arid woodlands beyond. Serene and family-friendly, the lodge features 85 spacious rooms, each offering stunning views of the Ewaso Nyiro River. Natural spring water meanders through the lodge, flowing into the river, while the warm climate, which persists throughout the year, transforms the lodge into a natural amphitheatre — wild and authentic, yet comfortable where it counts.
A stay at Sarova Shaba takes guests on a culinary
journey that celebrates the region’s rich cultural heritage. The lodge’s chefs craft delicious dishes inspired by the nomadic Samburu people, with the iconic nyama choma — succulent, flame-grilled meat — being a particular highlight. Sarova Shaba’s eco-friendly ethos is reflected in its farm-to-table concept, with fresh ingredients harvested daily from the on-site organic garden. Guests can enjoy bubbly breakfasts by the river, sundowner cocktails at sunset or bush dinners under a star-lit sky. Lazy afternoons are best spent by the pool,
interspersed with tailored activities such as guided nature walks, fish foot therapy or crocodile feeding by the river. Beyond the lodge lies a vast wilderness, perfect for exploring. Guests can embark on gorge climbs, hike up Tortoise Hill with skilled rangers or take on the challenge of climbing Mount Sabache. Visiting the Shaba National Reserve supports
vital conservation work, helping to restore vulnerable habitats. Cultural visits to traditional Samburu homesteads, along with purchasing souvenirs, help sustain the local economy.
