Overview

Laikipia is Kenya without the crowds. Its private conservancies let you do everything the national parks do not: walk, ride horses and camels, go out after dark and sleep under the stars.

Loisaba sits on a high escarpment with Mount Kenya on the horizon. Elephant, reticulated giraffe and wild dog all roam here, and a night on the Star Beds is one of the most romantic experiences in Africa.

Highlights

  • A night under the stars on Loisaba's Star Beds
  • Walking and camel safaris
  • Night drives for leopard and aardvark
  • Chance of wild dog
