About Loisaba Tented Camp
Perched on the edge of an escarpment, Loisaba Tented Camp is designed to capitalize on unhindered views across Laikipia’s mottled landscape all the way to Mt Kenya. All accommodations and main areas enjoy a breathtaking vantage point over an expansive panorama.
African-themed sophistication and style are the flavors of Loisaba Tented Camp. Spacious and airy tents are custom-built with large floor-to-ceiling doors and windows, high ceilings, and polished wood floors. The tent suites are adorned in chic Africana furniture with a modern European twist.
The inviting main areas of Loisaba Tented Camp include a large open dining area, a separate open lounge and bar, a large wooden decking area for outside dining, relaxing, and enjoying the view, and one of Africa’s most picturesque infinity pools.
Recently purchased by The Nature Conservancy and partnered with Space For Giants elephant foundation, Loisaba Conservancy, a functioning ranch, is a success story of conservation. Home to elephants, a healthy population of lions, the rare wild dog, and an abundance of other species, Loisaba is a prime example of successful collaboration between conservation, communities, ranching, and tourism.

Guiding & Activities
Loisaba is made for adventure: guests enjoy complete freedom to choose how they spend their time so the only barrier is your own imagination. Trek through the bush with camels, mountain bike down the escarpment, horseback-ride or drive through the wild canyons of the two great rivers that span the vast property.
WILDERNESS ADVENTURE
Loisaba is immense: bigger than ten of the world’s fully-fledged nations. You could take months exploring this land and never encounter the same view twice. We can assure you that you will not bump into anyone else and you will see the most extraordinary natural wonders – spectacular animal life that is wild, free, and exhilarating to observe and a kaleidoscopic variety of birds, both endemic and migratory.
GAME DRIVES
One of the best ways to view the wildlife at Loisaba is on a game drive. Whether you go early in the morning or late afternoon, your own informative guide will take you in an open vehicle across the open plains, through the bush, or along the river bank viewing the wide variety of game, birds, plants, and trees. Fishing can be arranged in the river and dams, kindly note this is seasonal and depends on the rains. Equipment, both modern and traditional can be supplied.
HORSE RIDING
Experience the unique exhilaration of riding on the plains with a herd of zebra, walking gently through a graceful forest of giraffe, or past a herd of elephants. On horseback, it is possible to get unusually close to wildlife and our stable of horses have all been reared from birth in the bush so are quite accustomed to its presence. We do, however, require a reasonable degree of riding skill.
WALKING
A great way to view the stunning diversity of Loisaba is on foot. You will be accompanied by traditional Samburu guides whose knowledge of local flora, fauna, culture, and history is unmatched. For a unique cultural experience, spend an afternoon down at the traditional Masai village – a great experience to see how the Masai live, watch them dance and view some of their beadwork.
CAMEL SAFARIS
The traditional mode of transport in the dry land of Northern Kenya and another great way to experience Loisaba. Short or longer walks can be arranged.
MOUNTAIN BIKING
For some excitement and adrenalin, take a mountain bike and your guide and explore some of the biking trails around Loisaba Conservancy on two wheels.
