Loisaba Tented Camp lines the rim of an escarpment on the 57,000-acre Loisaba Conservancy in Laikipia — Kenya’s wild, high north, where elephant move along ancient corridors and African wild dogs still den. Every tent looks across a valley that turns gold at dusk, with Mount Kenya on the far horizon on clear days.
The conservancy’s signature is the star bed — a hand-crafted four-poster wheeled out under the open sky at Loisaba Star Beds, the tented camp’s sister property a short drive away. Between that, riding, camel treks and night drives, Laikipia’s freedom is the whole point.
Laikipia escarpment views and the famous Star Beds night — we add it for guests who want Kenya beyond the Mara.
— Evance & JenniferYou never pay more than booking direct — usually less. And everything around the lodge is handled.
As a trade partner we access preferred rates and seasonal offers the lodge doesn’t always publish — you’ll never pay more than booking direct. And a lodge can only sell you its own beds; we build the journey around it: international flights, the right nights, and where you go next.
A private car waiting at the airport, light-aircraft hops timed to your route, and a guide who already knows your name. Book direct and the gaps between camps become your problem; book with us and there are none.
We know Loisaba’s calendar — wild dog denning, elephant movements, when the star beds are warmest — and how to pair Laikipia’s freedoms with the Mara’s spectacle in one seamless Kenya safari.
A missed flight, a weather delay, a change of heart mid-trip — you contact one person, and we re-arrange everything behind the scenes. The lodge looks after you on property; we look after the whole journey.
