Located within the 57,000 acre Loisaba, Elewana Loisaba Lodo springs offers 8 tented rooms with views that reach across northern Kenya stretching out to Mount Kenya. Each room has a guide to serve and cater to guests’ every need for the duration of their stay. Loisaba sits on an elephant corridor linking the plateau and plays a key role in one of Kenya’s largest and most stable lion populations. It is also home to large mammals, including Grevy’s zebra, wild dog, leopard and cheetah.
Loisaba is made for adventure. Guests enjoy freedom to choose how they spend their time. Trek through the bush with camels, mountain bike down the escarpment and horseback-ride or drive through the wild canyons of the two great rivers that span the vast property.
Wilderness
Loisaba is immense. It is bigger than ten of the world’s fully-fledged nations. You could take months exploring this land and never meet the same view twice. We can assure you that you will not bump into anyone else and you will see the most natural wonders – animal life that is wild and free to observe.
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, your guide will take you in a vehicle across the open plains, through the bush or along the river bank to view the wide variety of game, birds, plants and trees.
Horse riding
Experience 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 you get close to wildlife and our stable of horses have all been reared from birth in the bush so are quite used to its presence. We do, however, require a degree of riding skill.
Walking
A great way to view the stunning views of Loisaba is on foot. You will be with guides whose knowledge of local flora, fauna, cultural and history is unmatched. For a unique cultural experience, spend an afternoon down at the traditional Maasai village – a great experience see how the Masai live, watch them dance and view some of their beadwork.
Eight spacious and airy en-suite rooms are bathed in natural light with large floor-to-ceiling doors and windows, polished wood floors, stylish modern furnishings in warm hues recalling the landscape and wide verandas offering breath taking views. Rooms include a lounge area with chairs and writing desk. Bathrooms have solar-heated hot water from a rainfall shower to deliver a cleanse after an action-packed day. Curl up with a book or relax and take in the view of Loisaba from one of the plush double sunbeds located on the outside veranda.
After only a few hours here, the guests see the world anew. Thinking more clearly about the basics of life brings everything else into focus. It is not just a holiday of beauty and variety, but a project in sustainable land-use. This premise infiltrates every part of the ranch.
A working ranch
The property is an untamed bush and a working cattle farm. It conducts important wildlife research and 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 pays for their welfare of the people who call this remote region home.
The Maasai community
The Loisaba community conservation foundation is a US 501 c3 foundation. It aims to assist by encouraging enterprise and the development of community initiatives.
Conservation
All profits generated by tourism at Loisaba are dedicated to conservation of the 56,000-acre private wilderness area, in addition to supporting community orientated health, education and enterprise programmes outside its boundaries with the neighbouring Samburu and Laikipia Maasai tribes.
