Loisaba Wilderness is outstandingly beautiful, its abundant wildlife is truly wild and its accommodation is comfortable beyond measure. Whether sleeping under the undisturbed African night sky on their unique Star Beds, rafting down the majestic Ewaso Ngiro and Ng'are Narok Rivers, or watching Africa’s best wildlife stroll past on a game drive, a visit to Loisaba will revive your mind, rejuvenate your body and revitalise your soul.
Heading to East Africa? Loisaba Game Reserve was the pioneer of the ‘Star Beds’ concept and their Star beds remains one of the loveliest. More than one couple can sleep out at the same time with three separate platforms which all have two double beds so that a family can given enjoy the sleep-out experience. Again as with Plains Camp, you spend the evening all together around the camp fire before retiring to your deck, but this can be offered to just one couple as well. This can be booked if staying at Loisaba Lodge or Loisaba Cottage.
Room
Accommodation at Loisaba is luxurious and authentically African. Staying at the Loisaba Cottage will ensure you are pampered and well looked after while experiencing the atmosphere and energy of wild Africa. You also have the unique opportunity to try a night under the unspoilt Kenyan stars on one of our Star Beds. Your dream luxury getaway retreat awaits you in Kenya at Loisaba.
Loisaba Starbeds
Four-poster on raised platforms provide blissful sleep under the vast African sky with only the stars and sky for a ceiling. Even the spa – where pampering is unrivalled – is sensitively constructed and set apart from the other buildings, so that the eternal drama of the bush unfolds before your eyes.
The two sets of Star Beds are unique to Loisaba. The first and original set are located among a kopje of rocks in one of the eastern valleys overlooking the "Kiboko" waterhole. The second and newer set is located about 8 kilometres further south on the banks of the Ewaso N'giro River. These are cantilevered over the flowing river below and are reached by footbridge from the opposite bank.
These are named "Koija" Star Beds and are part of an exciting new joint venture project that Loisaba has undertaken in partnership with the Laikipiak Maasai people from the Koija community.
Each Star Bed dramatically designed, handcrafted wooden raised platform, and partially covered with a thatched roof. Homemade "Mukokoteni" (uniquely designed bed on wheels), can either be wheeled onto the open deck area for a night under the stars, or left under the shelter of the roof.
All the beds have complete "four-poster" insect netting. The Star Beds are normally reached by one of many options; on foot, horse, camel or vehicle and with two sets now in place create a unique opportunity to travel between them both and the lodge as part of a Star Bed Expedition.
Guests are guided and hosted by a team of traditional Samburu and Laikipiak Maasai warriors.
Both the Kiboko and Koija Star Beds comprise of 2 double sleeping platforms and one twin platform. Each double platform is designed for 1 or 2 people. The family platform accommodates 4 people (sharing bathroom facilities). Each platform is en-suite and has a large camp-style shower. The platforms are sited to ensure complete privacy.
Dining
Food is prepared in traditional camp kitchen. Team of chefs freshly prepare wholesome meals using a good proportion of locally sourced ingredients. The camp offers communal dining for a sociable experience and the opportunity to share the day’s events with other guests over dinner, which comprises four courses paired with notable South African wines.

Recreation
Loisaba is made for adventure: guests enjoy complete freedom to choose how they spend their time… the only barrier is your own imagination. Trek through the bush with camels, mountain bike down the escarpment, raft the Ewaso Nyiro, horseback ride or drive through the wild canyons of the two great rivers that span this vast area. The ranch also owns a micro-light and aeroplane so there are no limits to what you choose to do: heli-camp, then surf the remote sand dunes of the Northern Frontier District, rock-climb the soaring pinnacles thrusting up from the valley floor or just play a little tennis and lie by the pool. A place of deep serenity, Loisaba attracts big game just as it attracts guests: both know they will be safe and well looked after, free to roam unconfined and undisturbed.
