1. Introduction

Imagine waking to the soft glow of dawn as zebras graze mere meters from your tent. Picture savoring a gourmet breakfast beneath acacia branches, with elephants ambling in the distance. At Elewana Loisaba Tented Camp, moments like these are woven into your daily rhythm. This blog unveils the camp’s story, its immersive activities, and practical tips to craft a safari sojourn that lingers long after departure.

2. Location & Setting

Elewana Loisaba Tented Camp sits on a private wildlife conservancy spanning over 58,000 acres on the Laikipia Plateau, northern Kenya. This semi-arid landscape blends open savannah, dense bush, and jagged rock outcrops, creating diverse habitats for predators and plains game alike. Accessible via a 45-minute flight from Nairobi, the camp offers seclusion without sacrificing convenience.

3. History & Conservation Ethos

Loisaba Conservancy was founded by the late Ian and Pattie Craig in 2000, championing a model where wildlife and people thrive together. Elewana Tented Camp aligns with this vision:

• Wildlife Protection: Anti-poaching patrols, GPS monitoring, and research collaborations safeguard elephants, rhinos, and other vulnerable species.
• Sustainable Practices: Solar power, rainwater harvesting, and responsible waste management minimize the camp’s ecological footprint.
• Community Partnerships: Revenue-sharing, scholarships, and skills training empower neighboring Samburu and Laikipiak communities.

This holistic approach ensures that every safari day supports both biodiversity and local livelihoods.

4. Accommodation & Design

Tent Layouts

The camp comprises ten luxury tented suites perched along the edge of a rocky kopje. Each tent sits on a raised wooden platform, oriented for optimal views across the plains.

Interiors & Amenities

Your tent fuses canvas walls with refined furnishings:

• King-sized or twin beds draped in crisp linens
• En-suite bathroom with flush toilet, double vanity, and bucket shower
• Fireplace for chilly mornings and evenings
• Private veranda with loungers and an infinity plunge pool

Private Spaces

For families or honeymooners, two interconnecting tents create a secluded suite, complete with shared lounge and dining pavilion. The design balances openness—through retractable windows and skylights—with intimate indoor-outdoor living.

5. Dining & Culinary Philosophy

Seasonal Menus

Elewana’s culinary team sources fresh produce from local farms and organic gardens. Menus shift with seasonal bounty:

• Breakfast: Fruit platters, freshly baked bread, omelettes cooked-to-order
• Lunch: Grilled fish or game, hearty salads, seasonal soups
• Dinner: Tasting menus featuring Kenyan flavors—nyama choma (grilled meat), sukuma wiki (collard greens), and decadent desserts

Sundowners & Picnic Safaris

As the sun dips below the horizon, savor cocktails and canapés amid termite mounds or atop kopjes. Picnic safaris include gourmet hampers: prosciutto-wrapped asparagus, artisanal cheeses, and sparkling wine under open skies.

6. Safari Activities

Game Drives

Twice-daily open-vehicle drives explore the conservancy’s 360-degree wilderness. Expert guides share insights on animal behavior, conservation challenges, and bushcraft.

• Morning Drives: Follow predators on the hunt; witness the plains awaken.
• Afternoon Drives: Track nocturnal species preparing for the night; enjoy sundowner stops.

Guided Bush Walks

Accompanied by an armed ranger, interpret the microcosms of the bush: insect tracks, medicinal plants, and hidden bird nests. Bush walks cultivate a deeper understanding of ecosystem intricacies.

Horseback Safaris

Available for experienced riders, horseback safaris offer unparalleled front-row seats to wildlife—zebras, giraffes, and antelopes graze within cantering distance. Certified guides ensure safety across varied terrain.

Mountain Biking

Traverse undulating tracks on mountain bikes, navigating open plains and escarpments. Adrenaline seekers delight in speed and solitude, stopping for wildlife encounters along the way.

Cultural Visits

Engage with Samburu and Laikipiak peoples through village visits:

• Traditional dances and folklore storytelling
• Hands-on crafts: beadwork and basket weaving
• Insights into pastoral lifestyles and water management

Stargazing & Night Drives

With minimal light pollution, the Laikipia sky dazzles. Night drives reveal aardwolves, genet cats, and elusive aardvarks, while guides point out constellations, shooting stars, and the Milky Way’s grandeur.

7. Wildlife Highlights

The Big Five & Beyond

Loisaba Conservancy is home to:

• Elephants: One of the largest populations outside national parks
• Lions: Pride territories overlap the camp’s northern boundary
• Rhinos: Black and white rhino tracking programs bolster numbers
• Leopards: Solitary and secretive, often spotted at dusk
• Buffalo: Large herds graze the Plains of Reteti

Beyond the Big Five, you’ll encounter cheetahs, wild dogs, hyenas, and over 200 bird species.

Birding in Loisaba

Bird enthusiasts can tick off:

• Secretary birds stalking prey
• Martial eagles soaring overhead
• Lilac-breasted rollers flashing iridescent plumage
• Ground hornbills parading across the plains

The camp’s resident naturalist offers guided bird walks and reference materials.

8. Conservation & Community Engagement

Ranger-Led Initiatives

Elewana Loisaba partners with Loisaba Conservancy’s ranger teams:

• Anti-poaching units equipped with drones, trackers, and canine scouts
• Wildlife monitoring programs collecting data on migration and breeding

Guests can join morning patrols to gain firsthand conservation experience.

Community Empowerment

Investments in local schools, water wells, and health clinics stem from safari revenues. Elewana’s “Safari for Scholarships” program funds higher education for youth in neighboring communities, cultivating future conservation leaders.

9. Best Time to Visit

Laikipia’s climate is semi-arid, with two rainy seasons:

Peak safari conditions align with the dry season when animals congregate around water sources.

10. What to Pack

• Neutral-colored clothing (lightweight long sleeves and trousers)
• Good-quality binoculars and camera with telephoto lens
• Sunhat, sunglasses, and reef-safe sunscreen
• Light fleece or jacket for early morning drives
• Insect repellent and personal medical kit

11. Booking, Rates & Special Offers

Elewana Loisaba Tented Camp operates year-round, with rates varying seasonally. All-inclusive packages typically cover:

• Accommodation and three gourmet meals daily
• Two game activities per day (drives or walks)
• Sundowners, soft drinks, teas, and coffees
• Transfers from Nanyuki airstrip

Special offers may include honeymoon discounts, conservation-themed packages, or extended-stay bonuses. Booking directly through Elewana often unlocks the best flexibility and extras.

12. Conclusion

Elewana Loisaba Tented Camp transcends a typical safari lodge. It invites you into a living tapestry of wildlife, landscape, and culture, all guided by a strong conservation mission. Whether tracking black rhinos on horseback, sharing sundowners at sunset, or supporting community-led initiatives, your stay becomes part of a larger legacy—one that ensures this wilderness thrives for generations.

Embark on your Elewana Loisaba journey to discover the perfect fusion of adventure, luxury, and purpose—where every sunrise brings a new encounter and every tented evening echoes with the call of the wild.

Discovering Zanzibar Beyond the Beach

Experience the Ultimate Wildlife & Beach Bliss Escape in Kenya

Experience an exclusive Wildlife & Beach Bliss Escape with a 10-night Kenya safari and private island getaway. Call Louise and Scott at Hays Travel on 01428 856020.

Embark on an unforgettable Wildlife & Beach Bliss Escape in Kenya, tailored to thrill seekers and relaxation lovers alike. Over 10 nights, traverse pristine bushland, track Africa’s legendary “big five” in two premier reserves, then drift away to a private island retreat. This carefully crafted journey blends exhilarating fly-in safaris with serene beachfront leisure—perfect for couples, families and solo travellers seeking both adventure and rejuvenation.

Why Choose you Luxury Kenyan Wildlife & Beach Escape for Your Next Luxury Holiday?

Kenya boasts some of the world’s most iconic wildlife habitats and an unparalleled blend of savannah, riverine forest and coastal paradise. From the dramatic landscapes of Samburu to the rolling plains of the Masai Mara, each game drive reveals nature at its most raw and beautiful. Meanwhile, Kenya’s coastline offers coral-fringed beaches, vibrant Swahili culture and warm Indian Ocean waters. This dual-destination model ensures travellers experience both the wild heart and tranquil soul of East Africa.

Discover Thrilling Game Drives in Samburu & Buffalo Springs

Your adventure begins with a fly-in safari from Nairobi to Samburu National Reserve. Touch down on a remote airstrip, then board a shared 4×4 and journey to Surana Buffalo Springs. Here, your luxury tent awaits, complete with a private plunge pool overlooking the Ewaso Ngiro River. Over three nights:

• Early-morning game drives track herds of elephant and giraffe beneath thorn-scrub acacias.
• Afternoon siestas by your tent’s plunge pool offer cooling respite after thrilling wildlife encounters.
• Sunset drives reveal predators on prowl and birdlife returning to riverbanks.

Buffalo Springs Reserve, adjacent to Samburu, offers contrasting views and wildlife species. Over two days, traverse its open plains to spot the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe and Somali ostrich. Each drive is guided by expert rangers passionate about conservation and storytelling.

Elevate Your Safari in the World-Renowned Masai Mara

On day five, board your scheduled flight to the Masai Mara. At Ashnil Mara Camp, settle into a deluxe tent with sweeping views across the Mara River floodplains. Over two nights:

• Game drives at dawn reveal the Mara’s dramatic predator-prey theatre—lions ambushing their quarry, cheetah sprinting across plains and hyenas scavenging.
• Hot air balloon safari (optional) elevates your experience literally: drift over the savannah at first light, then celebrate your voyage with a champagne bush breakfast in the wild (additional £420 per person).
• Cultural visit to a nearby Maasai village introduces you to ancient traditions, bead-work artistry and local storytelling, adding human connection to your wildlife journey.

Rejuvenate on Chale Island’s Pristine Shores

Following your safari crescendo, transfer to Mombasa for a scenic boat ride to Chale Island—Kenya’s only private-island resort. Over four nights:

• Deluxe beachfront accommodation offers comfort and privacy, with half-board dining featuring fresh seafood and Swahili specialties.
• Water activities include snorkelling over vibrant coral reefs, scuba diving with tropical fish and kayaking in calm lagoons.
• Spa treatments harness indigenous ingredients like African black soap and coconut oil, fostering deep relaxation and wellness.
• Cultural evenings present Taarab music performances and storytelling under starlit skies, blending luxury with local authenticity.

Supporting Conservation & Community

By booking this exclusive escape, you contribute to Kenya’s future. For each passenger, £10 is donated to the Mara Rianda Charitable Trust and £10 to the East Africa Character Development Trust. These organisations fund wildlife research, community education and sustainable development initiatives—ensuring that future generations can enjoy Kenya’s natural wonders.
