Sasaab Lodge Wins Prestigious Hideaway Report Award
The 18 Grand Award winners around the world were identified as Mr. Harper's favourite properties from all those he visited within the past calendar year.

Each property possesses exceptional character, a commitment to classic hospitality and a profound sense of place. Mr. Harper does not evaluate hotels by means of a checklist, but uses his three decades of experience to distinguish the truly enchanting from the merely excellent.

Majestically situated on the high banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in Kenya's Samburu region, Sasaab commands breath-taking views across the arid landscape of the Northern Frontier District towards the jagged peak of Mt Kenya, and offers a truly exceptional safari experience in an area renowned for its variant species.

Sasaab's design is based on strong Moroccan principles in which African heat is a central consideration. The vast rooms allow for air to follow through and comprise enormous open air bathrooms and huge comfortable beds coupled expansive views and a cooling plunge pool. The safari experience on Samburu land is vastly different to that found in any other part of Kenya, while the Samburu people's unique customs and warm personalities make interaction with locals a major highlight of any visit.

Prices start from $545 (£360) per person per night staying in a Luxury Villa and includes all meals, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, game drives, bush walks, camel walks, local village visits, laundry, airstrip transfers, VAT and taxes. Book direct at www.thesafaricollection.com.

Book Now, Go Later: STAY 5 nights and only PAY for 4 at ANY of The Safari Collection properties. All bookings MUST be made by 14th February 2012 for travel completed before 15th December 2012.
