Poised on a rocky kopje, Loisaba star beds command sweeping views over a valley and a waterhole. Beds raised on wooden platforms are rolled out each night for guests to enjoy their sleep under the sky. Each star bed is built in harmony with the rocky features, and has a sitting area and open plan bathroom with a view. A team of Samburu & Laikipia Maasai warriors welcome and host you with their customary warm African hospitality.
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, you 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.
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 elephant. 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, cultural and history is unmatched. For a unique cultural experience, spend an afternoon down at the traditional Masai village – a great experience see how the Masai live, watch them dance and view some of their beadwork.
Unique to Loisaba, star beds are a truly memorable African experience. Four-poster beds with wheels, are onto raised wooden platforms so that guests sleep under the endless African night sky. The open-to-air bathrooms are around the rocky features of the kopje with a plumbed shower offering piping hot solar-heated water, a basin and flush loo, as well as beautiful views over the valley below.
Double rooms
Three ensuite double rooms, featuring a seating area, wardrobe and safe, and an ensuite bathroom with shower, flush toilet and vanity, all under the cover of a thatched roof.
Family room
One ensuite family room, with two double beds pushed out onto separate platforms. The room features a sitting area, wardrobe and safe, with a bathroom set slightly apart adjoined by a short undercover walkway. All rooms can fit an extra single bed.
