Our take
Loisaba Tented Camp stands on an escarpment above the Laikipia plains, with twelve tents and wide views towards Mount Kenya. An infinity pool, adjoining family combinations and varied conservancy activities offer a balance of comfortable camp time and active safari.
The elevated setting gives both the tents and main areas a broad outlook across Loisaba Conservancy. The style is contemporary rather than nostalgic, with open shared spaces and a generous deck. Loisaba’s appeal lies in its varied terrain and activities as much as the view: it is a rewarding contrast to a more exclusively drive-focused stay in the Maasai Mara.

01
Accommodation
Twelve en-suite tents have polished wooden floors, large windows and doors, and verandas facing the plains. Bathrooms include twin basins and rainfall showers. Three family combinations join a double tent to a convertible twin or double by a walkway, retaining separate bathrooms and sitting spaces. These are adjoining accommodation arrangements rather than one large shared family bedroom.
02
Food & drink
The camp has an open dining area, separate lounge and bar, and a wooden deck for outdoor meals. The outlook makes unhurried time around camp part of the experience. Dietary needs should be shared before travel, and picnic or bush meal arrangements can be fitted around the days you want to spend exploring.
03
What to do
Day and night drives, guided walks, camel excursions and mountain biking provide several ways to explore Loisaba. Horse riding requires a reasonable level of riding ability. Fishing is seasonal and depends on water conditions, while visits to the anti-poaching team introduce the conservancy’s protection work. Allow downtime at the infinity pool between active outings.
Planning your stay
Family combinations keep two bedrooms close while retaining separate en-suite facilities. The walkway arrangement should be considered for young children, and guided activities matched to their ages. Request an adjoining combination specifically rather than assuming two separate bookings will be positioned together.
The escarpment outlook and infinity pool are memorable, but the variety of guided activities is the stronger reason for a longer stay. Walking, riding and biking change the perspective on Laikipia’s landscape.
Loisaba Tented Camp is distinct from Loisaba Lodo Springs and Loisaba Star Beds. Riding outings are geared towards experienced riders. Choose the property and family configuration before checking route connections.

Laikipia
Loisaba Lodo Springs has eight spacious tented rooms above the Laikipia plains, with wide views towards Mount Kenya. Personal hosting, generous verandas and access to Loisaba Conservancy’s riding, walking and wildlife programme give it a more private lodge-style safari atmosphere.

Laikipia
Loisaba Star Beds offers an unusual Laikipia stay on a rocky kopje, with four-poster beds that roll onto open platforms beneath the sky. Four accommodation units overlook a valley and waterhole, combining a simple bush atmosphere with Loisaba’s varied safari activities.

Laikipia
Ol Malo is a family-run bush home on the edge of the Laikipia Plateau, with four lodge cottages and a separate private-house option. Horse and camel outings, guided walks and northern Kenya adventures give it a character beyond conventional game drives.

We would pair Loisaba with the Mara for two different safari experiences rather than two similar camps. Several nights make space for non-driving activities, while a planned coast extension can provide a quieter ending after a more active northern stay.
