Loisaba is a 56,000 acre private ranch and game sanctuary. Loisaba Lodge sits on the edge of Laikipia in Northern Kenya. Through Loisaba roam various game - elephant, lion and leopard, alongside the rare northern species that thrive here - gerenuk, grevy's zebra and reticulated giraffe. More unusual species can also be found at Loisaba including striped hyena and wild dog.
It's a setting little changed since the Great Rift Valley split Africa in two creating the escarpment on which the lodge lies on.
Luxurious yet in harmony with its surroundings, full of adventure yet an oasis of calm. Loisaba is a tranquil and life-enhancing haven for wildlife and visitors alike. Loisaba is immense: bigger in size than ten of the world's fully-fledged nations! You could take months exploring this land and never encounter the same view twice.
Room

You also have the unique opportunity to try a night under the unspoilt Kenyan stars on one of our Star Beds. Your dream luxury getaway retreat awaits you in Kenya at Loisaba.
The Star Beds
The two sets of Star Beds are 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.
These are named "Koija" Star Beds and are part of an exciting new joint venture project that Loisaba has undertaken in partnership with the Laikipiak Maasai people from the Koija community.
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.
Both the Kiboko and Koija Star Beds comprise of 2 double sleeping platforms and one twin platform. Each double platform is designed for 1 or 2 people. The family platform accommodates 4 people (sharing bathroom facilities). Each platform is en-suite and has a large camp-style shower. The platforms are sited to ensure complete privacy.
