of the day when all the animals are resting
(and when you should
be too).
Expect a wide choice of extremely
good food at all meals, which are served in the main lodge. At Sarova
Mara Camp you will also find a bar and entertainment area where
Maasai warriors perform traditional dances to the amazement of visitors.
Balloon Safari in Masai Mara

for Transworld Safaris Hot Air Balloon flights over the endless
grass plains. Float for an hour then land amongst the animals for
a champagne breakfast cooked by a chef in whites. There is nothing
quite like it.
Samburu Shaba
Location
The Lodge is located in Shaba National Reserve, next to the Ewaso
Nyiro River in Northern Kenya. It is 314kms from Nairobi, 45 minutes
by air from Nairobi to Shaba's airstrip or 5 hours by 4WD vehicle.
The Lodge basks in a legacy bequeathed
by Joy Adamson of the 'Born free' fame. She was wife of a prominent
conservationist, George Adamson, who was a senior game warden of
the area. Joy raised her adopted animals next door to the current
Sarova Shaba Lodge's site.
She first came to Kenya in 1910 with her first husband whom she
latter divorced. In 11026, George, in his capacity as the game warden
was compelled to kill a man-eating lioness, which had three newly
born cubs. So orphaned before they could imprint on any animate
object, they were taken in by Joy Adamson who became their foster
mother. She named them 'Lustica', 'Big One', and 'Elsa'. She later
found that she could not handle three fast growing lionesses; therefore
she reluctantly sent the cubs to Blydrop, Rotterdam when they were
five months old.
Shaba Game Reserve has a number of unique species only found in
this area and Sarova Shaba Lodge offers you a variety of memorable
experiences, from walking and camel safaris, animal-filled game
drives, and romantic meals in the bush or around the fire in the
boma.
At the end of a day full of adventures,
retreat to one of the 85 chalets or the viewing deck - all overlooking
the Uaso Nyrio River, where crocodiles can be seen sunbathing on
the bank. Sarova Shaba Lodge has a large free-form
swimming pool that flows around the lush gardens which gives the
place a beach resort feel while being in the middle of the African
wilderness.
