WELLNESS AND WILDERNESS SAFARI

Upon arrival at JKI Airport, you will be met and transferred to Wilson Airport, a short journey which takes you along the edge of Nairobi National Park. From here, catch your scheduled flight to Sasaab Airstrip, where you will be collected and enjoy a short game drive to the lodge.

Sasaab oozes safari zen and provides the ultimate setting for deep relaxation and rejuvenation. Your professional yoga and health coach, will be on hand to help you strengthen, stretch, invigorate and detoxify. Activities include yoga with breath-taking views, fitness and stretching routines, guided nature walks and/or jogging with Samburu warriors and guided meditation and relaxation sessions. Not forgetting evening walks to the most spectacular sunset spot on ‘Sundowner Rock’.
When not on your mat, enjoy nutritious food prepared with ingredients picked fresh from the organic veggie garden, cooling dips in the infinity pool, lap pool or your private plunge pool and pampering treatments in one of the two spa rooms. Sasaab has a well-equipped outdoor gym with wonderful views for use whenever you wish. There will be plenty of time for game drives around Westgate Conservancy and Samburu National Reserve, where you can spot endemic northern species, including Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, gerenuk and Beisa oryx.

There’s the option of hiking to the top of Ololokwe, a sacred Samburu Mountain. This takes a full day and is a rewarding experience. Enjoy stunning wild beauty and vast panoramas upon reaching the top. For the adventure-hungry amongst you, this can be combined with fly camping for a night of sleeping under the stars in the wild (advance booking is required). Sasaab also has camels to ride and quadbikes for exploring Westgate Conservancy. Don’t miss discovering the cultural heritage of the Samburu through various excursions on offer.

Enjoy your last Sasaab sunrise and breakfast before departing on your scheduled flight back to Nairobi. Land at Wilson Airport, from where you will be transferred to the leafy suburb in which Giraffe Manor is located, just a short drive away. Enjoy close encounters with Giraffe Manor’s enchanting herd of giraffes over afternoon tea on the lawn as you relax with a drink in hand, some delicious tea time treats for you and some tasty green pellets that our giraffes just can’t resist. The Retreat houses Giraffe Manor’s swimming pool, hot tub, steam room, sauna, gym and spa treatment rooms and is right next door to the manor, overlooking the same giraffe sanctuary. Access to all the wellness facilities is included in your stay at Giraffe Manor.

Your last morning is sure to be an unforgettable one as you experience a magical breakfast with giraffes. Depending on the time your international flight departs, you are encouraged to continue relaxing in the tranquil surroundings of The Retreat after check-out time at 10:00 am. We have included a complimentary Retreat Day Pass as part of your wellness journey. Lounge by the pool, indulge in a pampering massage or beauty treatment and feast on the vibrant and nourishing cuisine of Daisy’s Café, which uses ingredients fresh from the organic veggie garden.
When the time comes to say kwaheri (goodbye), you will be transferred to JKI Airport in time for your flight home. After six days of reconnecting with nature, we hope your inner peace and rejuvenation linger long after your return home.
