Overview

The property is untamed bush but also a working cattle farm; it conducts important wildlife research and - crucially - works closely with the community who have defended this land for generations. Guests see Africa as it was before fences were invented. Here there are no game park rules, no caged animals and none of the constraints of western life. Like the wildlife we nurture, you can do whatever you want, whenever you want.

The local Samburu and Maasai tribes are full partners in the project so your visit not only conserves the environment but also pays for the education and welfare of the people who call this remote and magnificent region home.

Accommodation

LOISABA LODGE

Constructed from stone, local timber and thatch, the lodge is perched high on the edge of the plateau looking south towards Mount Kenya.

Each room has large French windows that open onto a private deck cantilevered off the escarpment. The views are legendary, and a water hole a few hundred feet below draws continuous wildlife.

Kiboko and Koija Starbeds

Unique to Loisaba, the first and original set are located among a kopje of rocks in one of the eastern valleys overlooking the ‘Kiboko’ waterhole. The second and newer set is located about 8 kilometres further south on the banks of the Ewaso N’giro River. These are cantilevered over the flowing river below and are reached by footbridge from the opposite bank.

Each Star Bed dramatically designed, handcrafted wooden raised platform, and partially covered with a thatched roof. Homemade ‘Mukokoteni’ (uniquely designed bed on wheels’), can either be wheeled onto the open deck area for a night under the stars, or left under the shelter of the roof.

All the beds have complete ‘four-poster’ insect netting. The Star Beds are normally reached by one of many options; on foot, horse, camel or vehicle and with two sets now in place create a unique opportunity to travel between them both and the lodge as part of a Star Bed Expedition.

Guests are guided and hosted by a team of traditional Samburu and Laikipiak Maasai warriors. Food is prepared in traditional camp kitchen, Barbeque style.

THE COTTAGE, LOISABA

Loisaba Cottage is approximately 9kms from the main lodge. It is set back from the escarpment in beautifully landscaped gardens with a private swimming pool.

The Cottage has three double en-suite rooms with shower and one double/twin room with access to large bathroom via an external staircase.

THE HOUSE, LOISABA

A truly exclusive, self-contained private house built on the edge of the escarpment entirely from local stone and thatch.

The location and architecture of the house are breathtaking, as are the furnishings, most of which have been designed and made at Loisaba.

The house has its own staff, game-drive vehicle and a private, cliff-top swimming pool. The ultimate hideaway, for small groups.
