Visit Loisaba Lodge
Loisaba Tented Camp (formerly Loisaba Lodge) is perched on the edge of an escarpment – cleverly located to take maximum advantage of unhindered views across the Laikipia plateau all the way to Mount Kenya.
With comfortably warm days and cool dry evenings, insiders consider the Laikipia plateau to offer the ideal safari environment. It is the belief that such a stimulating backdrop deserves only the best of accommodations and have created a sophisticated and stylish base from which to explore.
The Loisaba Tented Camp’s spacious and airy tents can be left open to the elements to catch the gentle breezes. High ceilings, polished wooden floors and contemporary African styling provide a sumptuous setting when not exploring Loisaba. And in the warmth of the African sun, the view from one of Africa’s most picturesque infinity pools is simply amazing.
Loisaba Tented Camp:
- 6 Ensuite Tents – 3 double and 3 convertible twin/double.
- 3 Family Combinations, comprising 1 Double and 1 Convertible Twin/Double ensuite tents adjoined by a pathway.
Little Loisaba Tented Camp:
Is a new concept, comprising of three elegant tents leading to a stunning infinity pool and private open dining area with panoramic views of the plains below. Located adjacent to Loisaba Tented Camp, Little Loisaba can be booked on a private basis and is ideal for a small group or family.
Loisaba Star Beds
Also located on the Loisaba Conservancy and a mere 15 minute drive from Loisaba Tented Camp are the iconic Loisaba Star Beds, a separate and unique way of enjoying time in the East African bush.
Welcomed and hosted by a team of Samburu and Laikipia Maasai warriors, guests to Loisaba Star Beds enjoy a truly immersive experience. Guests enjoy all the facilities of a full lodge centered around 4 raised and open air ensuite platform accommodations, with mosquito-netted double beds offering a night’s repose under the ultimate canopy- the African sky, far from light pollution and cares of the modern world.
Loisaba Star Beds:
- 3 Ensuite Cottages / Decks with double “star beds”
- 1 Ensuite Cottage / Deck with 2 decks and 2 double “star beds”, sharing one bathroom
Activities
Loisaba is made for adventure. Guests enjoy complete freedom to choose how they spend their time so the only barrier is your own imagination.
Trek through the bush with camels, mountain bike down the escarpment, raft, horseback-ride, track lions and wild dogs collared for research purposes, enjoy a hike to the waterhole or further afield, or take a day or night drive to seek out Loisaba’s vast wealth of wildlife. Weather permitting, it may also be possible to enjoy a beautiful bush breakfast by the river or dinner under the stars next to a magical waterfall.
More About Laikipia & Loisaba
Framed by the Rift Valley, Mount Kenya, the Aberdares and the Ewaso Nyiro River, Laikipia is a multifaceted ecosystem with many micro environments, ranging from riverine bush and escarpment walls to high plains that ensure a wealth and variety of wildlife. Laikipia is currently home to the largest population of elephant in Kenya, with Loisaba serving as a key migration corridor. Laikipia boasts Kenya’s most stable lion population, as well as the seldom seen Greater Kudu and Wild Dog, and endemic northern Kenya species such as the gerenuk and Grevy’s Zebra, alongside a wealth of other wildlife.
An area of approximately the same size as Lewa Conservancy, the Mara North Conservancy, or Samburu and Buffalo Springs combined, Loisaba has only 16 rooms in total, providing a generous 3500 acres of wilderness per room. This allows for some of the greatest exclusivity to wildlife sightings available in Africa. A truly ground-breaking conservation success story, the Laikipia area has seen co-operation between land owners, local communities and professional conservationists to take down fences and provide safe and secure refuge for the wandering.

Hello there, I'm Brad, and my safari odyssey began with my first expedition to Kenya in 1984. Since then, I've had the privilege of guiding and exploring various African destinations, from Tanzania to Ethiopia, Rwanda to Zambia, and beyond. Yet, after 34 years, East Africa still captivates me like no other. My most recent adventure here was in June 2018. As an Environmental Conservation major in college, I found my perfect match in Gamewatchers and Porini Camps, whose groundbreaking conservation efforts in Kenya are unparalleled. The moment you witness an elephant in the wild for the first time, you're irrevocably hooked, just as I was. Whether you're embarking on your inaugural safari or your tenth, I'm here to curate the ideal experience tailored to your expertise level, accommodation preferences, and budget.
I'm based in Bend, Oregon, and you can reach me at brad@gamewatchers.com or by calling +1 224-558-1887. Let's make your safari dreams come true!
