The property
A distinctive luxury lodge set around natural springs in the heart of Shaba National Reserve. Surrounded by rugged volcanic landscapes, doum palms and flowing water channels, the lodge offers an atmospheric safari setting with comfortable accommodation, scenic views and easy access to the reserve's diverse wildlife.
<p>Sarova Shaba sits inside Shaba National Reserve — the wilder, less-visited sibling of the Samburu-Buffalo Springs pair — built around natural springs and doum palm groves that give the lodge an almost oasis-like feel in otherwise dry, volcanic country. Suites are connected by covered walkways that wind between the springs, crossing small footbridges over water channels stocked with fish.</p><p>The reserve’s low visitor numbers mean game drives here often run without another vehicle in sight, tracking lion, cheetah, and the same dry-country specialists found in neighbouring Samburu. Back at the lodge, the pool is fed by a natural spring, and the open-air restaurant looks out over the same palm-fringed water that gives the property its distinctive character.</p>
