Shaba Sarova Lodge

Northern Kenya


This place nestles on the Ewaso Ngiro River and its pathways intertwine with frog-filled streams and ponds. There’s a large pool and natural springs flow through the gorgeous open-air bar. The rooms are very comfortable with lots of Africana-style art. The lodge leaves bait along the river to attract crocodiles, so sightings are guaranteed.
