Loisaba Conservancy is situated on the threshold of Kenya’s beautiful northern rangelands. Laikipia covers 9,500km², north of the Aberdares Mountain Range on a wide plateau stretching from the slopes of Mt Kenya in the south east to the edge of the Great Rift Valley in the west.

The striking escarpments descend into the surrounding arid land with tributaries of the Ewaso Nyiro River cutting across the vast open plains. The habitats range from dry savannah and open woodland to spectacular canyons and low forested valleys. Made up of vast community-owned ranches, private farms and wildlife conservancies, Laikipia supports the second highest density of wildlife in Kenya and is one of only few places in Africa where wildlife numbers are on the increase. It is one of Kenya’s most exciting wilderness areas with spectacular scenery and an abundance of wildlife, including the Big 5 as well as many endangered species, such as Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Lelwel’s hartebeest and the patas monkey.

Laikipia is also one of the best places to see wild dog. Loisaba Conservancy lies on the edge of a sheer escarpment with views out over the Laikipia plateau. This thriving 219 Km conservancy boasts rivers, forests, springs, valleys and open plains. Recently purchased by the Loisaba Community Trust, with the assistance of The Nature Conservancy, and partnered with the Space For Giants elephant foundation, Loisaba is becoming a hub for cutting-edge conservation efforts throughout Laikipia and Kenya.  Loisaba is fascinating on many levels – not just for its abundant game.

Two accommodation options are available on Loisaba – the sophisticated Loisaba Tented Camp, and the unique Loisaba Star Beds.
