Loisaba Tented Camp embodies a true balance between people, landscape, culture and the wildlife. Set in the thriving Laikipia region of central Kenya, the lodge aims to touch your mind, body and soul while on safari in this unique and beautiful land. You can't help leaving truly moved. Loisaba also encourages local communities to get involved in the lodge. This philosophy infiltrates every part of the ranch and conservancy, and the local Samburu and Maasai tribes are full partners in the project. Head out into the local conservancy in search of big game such as lion, elephant and buffalo (as well as unique species such as the Grevy's zebra and reticulated giraffe), with a rare insight into the nomadic Samburu and Maasai people's cultures and traditions.
The Loisaba tented camp is the newest edition to the Loisaba Conservancy; perched on the edge of a 500ft escarpment and has dramatic views across the Laikipia plains and the snow-capped peak of Mount Kenya. The decor is stylish safari chic, with natural textures and clean lines. The infinity pool is perfect for cooling off or soaking up the dramatic views, it feels like you are suspended between heaven and earth.
Loisaba Tented Camp are managed by the exclusive Elewana Collection and consists of four stylish and spacious double rooms, one deluxe tented suite and two family tents, each made up of two double en-suite tents with shared verandas. The exclusive family residence offers three en-suite rooms, a shared private lounge, dining tent and a private pool. Every room overlooks the Laikipia plains; you'll see herds of buffalo, zebra and elephant crossing while relaxing on your deck. On a clear day, you'll see as far as the snow-peaked caps of Mount Kenya.
Mount a stallion and explore the African savannah on horseback. Trot past a herd of zebra or saunter through one of the indigenous forests on the property. Interacting with the Maasai at the traditional Maasai village is an enjoyable experience. See how one of Africa's most proud and noble tribes live, watch them dance and view some of their beadwork. Top this off with a camel safari. Camels are the traditional mode of transport in the dry land of Northern Kenya. Overnight camel camping using lightweight tents is perfect for the more adventurous traveller.
With a sparkling roster of activities, this is the perfect place for anyone with energy to burn. From mountain biking and fishing trips to cultural village visits, it's impossible to be bored - and don't forget the game viewing!
We recommend a minimum two-night stay here to make the most of the area and all it has to offer. Any less and you'll just have to come back...
Although there are plenty of activities on offer, some of them come at an added cost - helicopter flights, camel rides and horse riding are the main ones.
