Loisaba Tented Camp

From their elevated positions on the edge of an escarpment, Loisaba Tented Camp's safari tents and main areas enjoy panoramic views over the plains of Laikipia all the way to Mount Kenya in the distance.

Spacious African-themed tents

Loisaba Tented Camp has 12 generously sized double or twin bed ensuite tents with high ceilings, polished wooden floors and floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that open onto spacious private verandas which offer stunning views of Laikipia. Each ensuite bathroom has an enclosed flush toilet, two vanity basins and a large shower. Six of the 12 tents are joined by walkways, making them perfect for families with children or groups of friends. Small groups travelling in a private bubble should enquire about Little Loisaba. Little Loisaba is a combination of two spacious en-suite tents and a convertible tent that enjoys access to an exclusive-use private infinity pool and bar.

Guest lounge, dining room and infinity pool with a view

The camp's tranquil main lounge and bar and separate dining area are spacious, open and airy. They walk onto large wooden decks overlooking the endless plains of Laikipia. After a day game viewing in Loisaba Conservancy, pre-dinner drinks and dinner itself can be enjoyed outside on the deck beneath the African stars. The views from Loisaba Tented Camp's infinity pool and pool deck are nothing short of spectacular.

Game drives and bush walks

Day and night game drives take place in open safari vehicles in Loisaba Conservancy, a 56,000-acre private wildlife conservancy in Kenya's Laikipia. Highly experienced safari guides will take you over open plains, along riverbanks and through the bush in search of Loisaba's elephants, zebras, giraffes, lions, rare African wild dogs and numerous other species of wildlife. Guided bush walks with qualified Samburu guides will bring you closer to and give you a deeper appreciation of the diversity of Loisaba's tree-, plant- and birdlife as well as the area's cultural and historical narratives.

Our take on Loisaba Tented Camp

The tents at Loisaba Tented Camp are enormous. They are beautifully decorated, simple yet elegant, and the view from their private deck is breathtaking. We were especially impressed by the great food and the wonderful experience of having drinks one evening down in the valley by a waterfall where fireflies and a full moon took centre stage. Loisaba Conservancy is an inspiring example of what can be achieved when local communities, landowners and lodge owners with a passion for wildlife come together for the purpose of conservation.
