Samatian has mostly been considered to be a great “mid safari break” destination as it is the perfect place to wind down & relax in the middle or end of a trip. As your host and guide we consider Samatian to be a wonderful base if guests would like to spend a little longer to experience the large variety of excursions that can be undertaken from this exquisite Rift Valley Island. There is so much on offer & all activities will be tailor made to suit the guests desires, energies & also the number of days one stays at Samatian will determine if guests should participate in the full day excursions.
