Sarova Shaba Game Lodge is located in the Shaba National Reserve which is part of a conglomeration of reserves in the Eastern Province, descending from Mt. Kenya to L.Turkana.
This Lodge basks in a legacy bequeathed by Joy Adamson of the ‘Born Free’ fame. She was the 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.
The Sarova Shaba Lodge offers the guests a chance to see the bounty of unique wildlife made famous by the film “Born Free”. In March 1998, the Lodge played host to the cast and crew of the “Born Free”, true-life story of George and Joy Adamson and starred both Kenyan actors and international film stars. The majority of the filming took place in the Game Reserve but some of the scenes were actually shot in the lodge.
