Loisaba Tented Camp occupies a dramatic escarpment edge in Laikipia, its 12 luxury tents gazing across a vast sweep of wilderness towards Mount Kenya. Part of the award-winning Loisaba Conservancy, the camp couples contemporary African elegance with a serious conservation story, and an infinity pool that seems to spill into the plains below. ## Where Is Loisaba & What Wildlife Can You See? The camp lies within the 58,000-acre Loisaba Conservancy on the Laikipia Plateau, approximately 260 km from Nairobi, reached by daily flights from Wilson Airport to the Loisaba airstrip or a 5.5 to 6-hour drive via Nanyuki. Elephant, big cats and northern specialities move through the conservancy, and the private setting unlocks activities beyond standard game drives, including horseback safaris, community walks, photography hides and star-lit sundowners. ## Rooms & Style Each of the 12 custom-built tents features polished wooden floors, floor-to-ceiling windows and an expansive private veranda; Family Combination Tents join two tents by a private walkway for flexible group stays. A spa, gym and all-inclusive dining options complete the top-tier package. Sundowners on the escarpment edge, electric vehicle charging and star-gazing after dinner make the most of Laikipia’s clear skies and the conservancy’s forward-looking ethos. ## Who Is It Ideal For? - Adventurous travellers adding riding and walking to their safari - Families booking the linked Family Combination Tents - Conservation supporters wanting their stay to fund protection - Honeymooners after big views and small guest numbers ## Pairs Well With Laikipia combines superbly with the [Masai Mara National Reserve](/kenya/masai-mara-national-reserve); hop south on the [3-day fly-in Maasai Mara safari](/safaris/3-day-fly-in-maasai-mara-safari-from-nairobi) for a two-region itinerary. ## Which Season Suits Elewana Loisaba Tented Camp Best? Laikipia is generous year-round, but each season plays differently. June to October is the classic window: dry ground, concentrated wildlife and the sharpest views towards Mount Kenya from the escarpment. January to March brings warm, settled weather and excellent light for photographers, while the short rains of November and December green the plateau and draw in migratory birds. March to May is the value play — lush landscapes, fewer visitors and luxury at its most accessible. Whichever season you choose, the daily rhythm follows the light: an early game drive while predators are still moving, a slower midday around the infinity pool or spa, then a second outing rolling into sundowners as the plains cool. The photography hide rewards patient midday hours when other guests are resting. - Fly from Wilson Airport to Loisaba Airstrip to arrive by lunch; the road alternative runs 5.5 to 6 hours via Nanyuki. - Choose between full-board, half-board and all-inclusive bases at booking. - Families should request the Family Combination Tents early, as they are limited. - Pack a warm layer: escarpment mornings are cold before the sun climbs. Cultural Maasai visits are best arranged a day in advance so the camp can coordinate with the community. ## Frequently asked questions ### Where is Elewana Loisaba Tented Camp located?
