Perched high on the edge of an escarpment overlooking the vast plains of northern Kenya, Loisaba Tented Camp is the epitome of luxury, adventure, and wilderness harmony. This elegant safari retreat sits within the expansive Loisaba Conservancy — a 57,000-acre private reserve dedicated to wildlife conservation and sustainable community partnerships. The camp offers breathtaking views that stretch all the way to Mount Kenya on a clear day and is known for its seamless blend of comfort, style, and authenticity. Managed by Elewana Collection, Loisaba provides a truly elevated safari experience that caters to both seasoned travelers and first-time explorers.
Access & Location
Loisaba Tented Camp is located on the Laikipia Plateau, roughly a one-hour flight from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to the Loisaba Airstrip, followed by a short 15-minute drive to camp. The area’s semi-arid landscape, dotted with acacia trees and rocky outcrops, supports an incredible diversity of wildlife. Its location makes it an important conservation bridge between Kenya’s northern rangelands and the rest of the country’s major ecosystems, offering visitors a remote yet easily accessible safari destination.
Accommodation & Facilities
Loisaba Tented Camp offers 12 spacious and beautifully appointed tents — including three family tents — each designed to maximize the sweeping views of the conservancy. The tents feature high ceilings, polished wooden floors, and elegant furnishings that combine contemporary design with African craftsmanship. En-suite bathrooms include double vanities and rain showers, while large verandas invite guests to relax and soak in the scenery.
The camp’s main area includes a stylish lounge, dining area, and infinity pool that seems to merge with the horizon. There’s also a well-stocked bar, a cozy library, and fire pits where guests can unwind under the stars. Wi-Fi is available in common areas for those who wish to stay connected while still savoring the remote wilderness atmosphere.
Activities
Loisaba Tented Camp offers a diverse range of activities that showcase the region’s beauty and biodiversity. Traditional game drives, both day and night, provide excellent opportunities to spot elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, reticulated giraffes, and the endangered Grevy’s zebra. Walking safaris, guided by expert Samburu and Maasai rangers, allow guests to explore the land up close and learn about local flora, fauna, and tracking techniques.
Unique to Loisaba are its camel and horse-riding safaris — a thrilling way to traverse the conservancy quietly and encounter wildlife from a new perspective. Guests can also visit the anti-poaching dog unit to see trained sniffer dogs in action, take part in community visits, or enjoy a sundowner with panoramic views of the African plains. For those seeking even more serenity, bush breakfasts and romantic star-lit dinners create unforgettable moments in the wild.
