Loisaba

At the top of a dramatic escarpment, Loisaba Lodge has stunning views over miles of Acacia bushland towards Mount Kenya.

Set away from the lodge are Loisaba House and Loisaba Cottage, both offering the ultimate getaway, privately guided and booked on an exclusive use basis: fully staffed, superbly designed and furnished, with private pools. For even more adventure you can sleep on ‘Star Beds’, under the open African sky, overlooking the great Ewaso Nyiro river or the Kiboko waterhole – Comfort, views, delicious fresh food and private Africa are key ingredients of Loisaba.

A private wilderness of over 60,000 acres, and important elephant migratory corridor, this is one of the best locations for watching wild dog, and other predators such as cheetah, leopard and lion.

Activities range from horse riding to mountain biking, guided bush walks and game drives, quad biking to river rafting, to camel trekking with Samburu guides and their pack camels.

After a day in the bush you can return for a dip in the cliff-top pool… then doze under a thousand stars
