Loisaba Tented Camp
Loisaba Tented Camp occupies a 58,000-acre conservancy in Laikipia, where 12 en-suite tents sit along an escarpment with far-reaching views across the plains. The design is contemporary but still in keeping with its surroundings, with a modern dining space, a relaxed lounge bar, and two infinity pools that open onto the landscape beyond. It’s a rare thing in this part of Kenya: a camp that takes the wilderness seriously and still manages to be genuinely comfortable.
LOCATION
The camp sits on the edge of the Laikipia plateau, looking out across open plains toward Mount Kenya. Floor-to-ceiling doors and windows frame those views from every tent, meaning you won’t need to go far to feel the scale of the place. Loisaba also sits on the western edge of one of Kenya’s most important elephant movement corridors, which makes this one of the most ecologically significant stretches of land in the country.
YOUR ROOM
The 12 en-suite tents are generously sized, each with a private veranda, double basin vanity, large shower, and flush toilet. Family tents are connected by wooden walkways, making it a natural fit for groups travelling together, or to give older children their own space without compromising on comfort.
WHO IT SUITS
Loisaba Tented Camp works well for families of all ages, couples, and groups. The activity options rank among the most varied on the circuit. Game drives, guided walking safaris, horseback riding, mountain biking, camel treks, and fishing keep guests of most interests occupied from early morning onward.
WHY WE LIKE IT
Loisaba’s dedicated anti-poaching unit is one of the more compelling conservation experiences in Kenya. The team works alongside four trained sniffer dogs — Warrior, Machine, Memusi, and Nanyokie — and guests can join them to see the training and operation firsthand. It’s a purposeful way to engage with the conservancy’s work beyond the game drive.
SUSTAINABILITY
Loisaba operates as both a travel destination and a working conservation model. A portion of every night’s revenue supports land protection across the conservancy, alongside community programs in health, education, and local enterprise. It’s a clear example of how private land can be managed in a way that benefits wildlife, ecosystems, and the people who live alongside them.
