Loisaba Star Beds offers the amazing experience of sleeping under the open sky and stars, an exciting and real “back to nature” experience.

Loisaba is a 230km2 private wildlife conservancy, under the new ownership and management of the Loisaba Community Trust, and supported by The Nature Conservancy. A beautiful landscape with springs, plains, valleys and views, and the great Ewaso Nyiro River, it is an important elephant haven.

Poised on a rocky kopje, the Star Beds command sweeping views over an undulating valley and a permanent waterhole, frequented by resident wildlife.

Handcrafted four-poster wooden beds sit on raised wooden platforms jutting out from a thatched-roof accommodation and are rolled out each night for guests to sleep under the endless African sky. Rustically designed to complement the surrounding environment, each star bed is individually built in harmony with the natural rocky features, incorporating a sitting area, and open plan bathroom. The open-to-air bathrooms are designed around the rocky features of the kopje with a plumbed shower offering piping hot solar-heated water, a basin and flush loo, as well as beautiful views over the valley below.

A team of traditional Samburu & Laikipiak Masai warriors welcome and host you with their customary warm African hospitality. A day of fun on Loisaba is rounded off with drinks by the log fire in the Star Beds lounge, sharing tall tales of the African bush, with the tale-telling continuing over a delicious shared dinner.

Loisaba is made for adventure: guests enjoy complete freedom to choose how they spend their time so the only barrier is your own imagination. Trek through the bush with camels, mountain bike down the escarpment, horseback-ride or drive through the wild canyons of the two great rivers that span the vast property.
