Elewana Loisaba Tented Camp

A tented camp on the Laikipia escarpment, with views to Mount Kenya and a wide choice of activities across the Loisaba Conservancy.

Kenya

Overview

Loisaba Tented Camp sits on a ridge above the Loisaba Conservancy, a 56,000-acre private wildlife area in northern Laikipia, with views across the plains to Mount Kenya. The tents are spacious, with high ceilings, polished wood floors and full-length doors that open onto the view, and an infinity pool looks out over the escarpment. What sets it apart is the variety: day and night game drives, guided walks, camel and horse riding, and the option of a night out under the stars at Loisaba Star Beds. Loisaba is a leading conservation and community project, and staying here supports that work.

Activities & Dining

Loisaba is home to elephant, lion, leopard, wild dog, reticulated giraffe and Grevy's zebra, including northern species you won't see in the Mara. Alongside game drives and night drives, you can walk with a guide, ride a camel or a horse (experienced riders), go mountain biking, track lions with the conservancy's researchers and visit a Samburu community. Fishing on the Ewaso Nyiro River is possible in season.

Dinners are relaxed and plated, and the team can set up sundowners and bush breakfasts out on the conservancy.

Getting There

  • By air: Daily scheduled flights from Nairobi's Wilson Airport to Loisaba airstrip (about 1 hour 20 minutes), then a 15-minute transfer to camp.

  • By road: About 2 to 2.5 hours from Nanyuki. We'll arrange your flights and transfers.

Insider Tips

  • Add a night at Loisaba Star Beds. Sleeping out under the stars is a highlight for most guests.

  • Try a camel walk for a quieter, slower way to see the conservancy.

  • Ask the team about the conservancy's anti-poaching and research work.

  • Laikipia is good year-round and makes a great contrast to the Mara in landscape and wildlife.

  • Book family tents early for school holidays.
