CAMELS
Why walk when you can ride? Sasaab has four friendly resident camels for your use, looked after and led by experienced Samburu herders. It can be great fun to explore the area around the lodge from up high. Guests usually enjoy camel rides in the cooler late afternoon hours. A popular choice is to embark on a leisurely ride down by the river and end up at our sundowner spot in time for an evening drink, which is around a 45-minute ride. An age limit of eight years may apply depending on height and ability of individual children.
Camels are uniquely adapted to survive in arid climates like northern Kenya and are commonly kept as livestock by the Samburu.
TIP
Our camels amble along at a gentle pace, so some members of your group can wander along on foot whilst others ride.
