Kenya Lodge : Loisaba Lodge : Kenya Safari

This Kenya safari lodge bestrides the border of Laikipia and Kenyas rugged Northern Frontier District. Only a few miles from the equator, this private game ranch is in a country of transcendent beauty where the farm management and the local Laikipia Maasai and Samburu community work together to preserve the environment and the wildlife that abounds.

The view from Loisaba extends for hundreds of miles to Mount Kenya, the Lolldaiga Hills and the Mathews Range. They rise from plains where big game wonders freely and undisturbed by the incursions of the twenty first century.

Through Loisaba roam Elephant, Lion and Leopard alongside the rare northern species that thrive here - Gerenuk, Grevys Zebra and reticulated Giraffe. It is a setting little changed since the Great Rift valley split Africa in two, creating the escarpment on which The House is built. Luxurious yet in harmony with its surroundings, full of adventure yet an oasis of calm, Loisaba is a tranquil and life-enhancing haven for wildlife and visitors.

This Kenya safari lodge is the home of the couple that financed the transformation of the area - from failing cattle ranch to successful experiment in alternative land-use. When they are away, it is available for rent. On the ranch wildlife and domesticated animals live side by side in unfenced pastures, a symbiotic relationship enhanced by those who come here as guests and thus give even the most potentially destructive wildlife, like Elephant and Lion, a real value to the Samburu and Maasai communities who live nearby.

Bush buck, cattle and Buffalo share the same water-holes in a symbiotic relationship whereby the dividends from ranching and tourism pay for the protection of the wider environment and its often endangered inhabitants. The local Samburu Maasai tribes are full partners in the project so your visit not only conserves the environment but also pays for the education and welfare of the people who call this remote and magnificent region home.

After only a few hours here, the guests see the world anew. Thinking more clearly about the basics of life brings everything else into focus. Loisaba is not just a holiday destination of peerless beauty and infinite variety; it is a practical project in sustainable land-use. This basic premise infiltrates every part of the ranch. The property is untamed bush but also a working cattle farm; Loisaba conducts important wildlife research and works closely with the community who have defended this land for generations.

Health:

It is highly recommended that you take membership of the Flying Doctors rescue service for emergency evacuation at a very nominal fee. However, you should carry your own complete holiday / medical insurance. Malarial prophylactics must be taken and can be obtained from your local doctor. As with travel in any part of the world, it is advisable to know your blood type in case of emergency. Please consult your local health authority for up-to-date recommendations and regulations regarding inoculations.
