Loisaba Lodo Springs, which is housed within Loisaba Conservancy, provides guests with an ultra-private experience. It has eight distinct, roomy tents with breathtaking views that extend beyond the enchanted terrain of northern Kenya and up to Mount Kenya. Each room has an Guest Ambassador assigned to it who is responsible for providing for all of the visitors’ needs.
Loisaba Lodo Springs
One of the biggest and most reliable lion populations in Kenya is supported in major part by Loisaba, which is located on an important elephant corridor that connects the well-known Laikipia Plateau. The Grevy’s zebra, wild dog, leopard, and cheetah are just a few of the severely endangered big species that call the Conservancy home.
The Loisaba Community Trust, a Kenyan Trust established under the Perpetual Succession of Trustees Act, is the owner of Loisaba, a 57,000 acre reserve located in Laikipia County. Loisaba is dedicated to the conservation of animals and the environment. The Loisaba Lodo Springs’ mission is to support sustainable livestock production while protecting and enhancing crucial wildlife diversity, abundance, and habitat in the Loisaba landscape, which sits on the western edge of one of Kenya’s most important elephant movement corridors.
Loisaba Lodo Springs is a small, strikingly designed lodge that pays homage to old safari ways. It is situated in the 57,000 acre Loisaba Conservancy on a sincere little bluff overlooking the vast Loisaba Plateau, a set-piece of African geography, and is peacefully situated under “the high bright Kenya sky,” as described by John Gunther, “foaming with enormous pink, cream-colored, and slate-blue clouds, so that they look as if they have fires inside.”
Loisaba Lodo Springs consists of a traditional tent top rises above the room’s wraparound sliding glass doors and windows in each of the eight, which are each a brilliantly thought-out fusion of contemporary design with the airiness of safari tents. The famous Elspeth Huxley said that at night, the rooms shine like gems and that the African sky “arches under the heavens like a vast and iridescent plume of frozen smoke.”
The room’s interiors are tastefully understated, with warm wood accents, polished wood flooring, and a verandah overlooking the Plateau and Mount Kenya, a peak whose presence gave its country its name. Our game watching in the Loisaba Lodo Springs with our Luxe Africa Safaris Director is extremely private because we are in the private, community- and conservation-focused Loisaba Conservancy (privacy being one of the main building elements of luxury, of which Loisaba Lodo Springs has enough).
The Loisaba Plateau features a variety of landscapes, including traditional African bush country and riverine forests. There are also 46 different species of mammals, including a new and surprisingly captivating pack of wild dogs, as well as a large number of endangered Grevy’s zebras and about 800 elephants that meander along one of Kenya’s main elephant corridors.
