8 Days Luxury Wildlife Expedition

Perched on the edge of an escarpment, Loisaba Tented Camp is designed to take advantage of unhindered views across the Laikipia Plateau’s breath-taking landscape, all the way to the peaks of Mount Kenya. The theme of the camp is one of African elegance and style, enhanced by an expansive panorama, which can be enjoyed from the large open dining area, the relaxing sitting area and bar, the tranquil wooden deck, and one of Africa’s most picturesque infinity pools.

The nine spacious and airy tents are custom-designed with large floor-to-ceiling doors and windows, polished wood floors, chic African furnishings and wide verandas from which to enjoy the endless views. While the luxurious ensuite bathrooms provide flush toilets, double-basin vanities and solar-heated hot water, which cascades from rainfall showers to deliver a revitalising cleanse after an adventurous day. Guests are offered a myriad of exciting activities including day and night game drives, horse riding, camel-trekking, guided bush walks, fishing, mountain biking and cultural visits to a Samburu village; ensuring that every moment at Loisaba Tented Camp is unforgettable.

Kiangazi means ’hot and dry season’ in Swahili. The meaning of the name describes the house which lies in the Wildlife corridor adjacent to Oserian Wildlife Sanctuary. Kiangazi offers a diversity of wildlife including white rhino, leopard, cheetah, buffalo, giraffe, grevy zebra, oryx and many species of antelope. Guests at Kiangazi are able to view thirsty big game from their veranda, as the animals make their way to the waterhole.

Many smaller species like dik dik, grey duiker, steinbok and aardvark are found at the borders of the Escarpment. Guests can roam this wilderness in 4WD vehicles and enjoy a sundowner at the log fire after a long day of game driving. Guests can explore the shores of Lake Oloiden with its variety of birdlife including pelicans and flamingos. The yellow barked Acacia forests are normally the place where leopards are spotted preying for game. Boat trips on Lake Naivasha are also offered, where guests can marvel at the Rift Valley, hippos, pelicans and fish eagles. Other activities available are trips to Hells Gate National Park and horse riding

Karen Blixen Camp offers an immersive experience in nature, with a front-row seat to wildlife in action. Throughout the day, guests can witness elephants, giraffes, zebras, and impalas gathering for water, while a pod of hippos lounges in the river. The camp combines the beauty of unspoiled wilderness with the vibrant essence of African traditions. Whether seeking adventure or a moment of renewal, visitors will find a unique blend of nature, culture, and tranquility that promises to rejuvenate the spirit.

Your time is spent on game drives through the conservancy, but you can also opt to do a walking safari, take a dawn hot air balloon ride or visit a Maasai village. Around camp, you can visit the on-site cooking school, plant a tree and find out more about the environmental initiatives in place here by joining an ‘eco walk’. Meals are served on individual tables in the dining area, in front of the river or out in the bush. In the evening, a campfire is lit and you can gather with fellow guests to discuss the sightings you’ve had that day.
