Loisaba Star Beds

I was a little nervous taking my 1st solo trip, let alone to Africa but it was the best vacation yet! I did not for a moment feel any discomfort traveling by myself no matter who i was with. I was told at the airport by guests leaving that I was lucky to get Jackson as my guide because he was the best and they weren’t lying. Jackson was pure gold from the moment i met him. He was extremely knowledgeable about everything from animals to birds to vegetation. Everything I saw in the Mara, i saw in Losaiba plus rhinos thanks to Jackson!! Because you spend so much time with your guide every day, they have a huge impact on your entire vacation. I highly recommend requesting Jackson before you arrive! My wonderful experience didn’t stop there. When i got to the star beds the entire staff made me feel like family. I have several dietary restrictions and Beltcher, the chef made me special meals that i could eat and were delicious every day! I miss his cooking even now that I’m back home. Phillip the manger does a phenomenal job with this camp! You will fall in love with the star beds, that is to be expected but you will also fall in love with the entire staff and the special meals/sundowners they do. They all gather to send you off after your stay and i loved them all so much that i gave each a hug and thanked them for taking such good care of me. Hands down this was my favorite camp of the 3 i visited on this trip! I am already planning a trip back and will be sure to stay here again!!

Staying in a star bed was a bucket list item for my husband while we were on our 13 day safari in Kenya. And, wow! Elewana Star Beds checked that box for sure. This is an intimate property with only 4 star beds & a main house. Our room overlooked the reservoir, with sounds of hippos & other safari friends serenading us all night. And the food was sensational! 10 out of 10 recommend!

Staying at Loisaba star beds was an experience we will never forget. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay and made us feel at home straight away. We had dinner at the Starbed restaurant which was exceptional - the food and setting was unbeatable. The star beds themselves are just incredible - we will never forget going to bed under the clearest stars we have ever seen or waking up and watching the striped hyenas stroll across in-front of our balcony. The conservancy itself is so much quieter than anywhere else we have been giving it a private and personal feel. We visited several places across Tanzania and Kenya however this was head and shoulders our favourite. We can't wait to return and would recommend to anyone - a truly special place.

This experience is not to be missed! Each room has been designed like a private tree house. The Lodge is quite unique and intimate. Our guide, Dalmaz, knew everything about Laikipia. Our drives were fascinating spotting cheetah brothers on the hunt and a pride of lionesses and six cubs. The privacy of the Loisaba Conservancy allows for traveling off-road and getting very close to the animals in secluded areas. You are with the animals in the wild. We felt like we were in another world and yet this area is just north of Nairobi. The village visit was memorable and we had an amazing bush breakfast by a Yellow Fever tree. Highly recommend getting a massage if you have the time.

These sky bed bungalows were clean, beautiful, and very cool. The lodge is surrounded by awesome scenery and we were very lucky seeing a huge variety of animals (5 cheetahs and 2 leopards!). Our guide Bill was really knowledgeable and very nice, we had a great time learning from him with fun conversation. Our meals were expertly prepared by chef Rafael and the entire staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and very happy. We recommend this stay to anyone looking to upgrade their safari experience.

We really were excited to spend a night under the stars, we were sadly disappointed in the experience. The staff was great, Veronica ( manager) could not have been more gracious. The bed does roll out to the deck, but be prepared for a very rustic evening, we were kind of forced to just be in the bed since the room has little else. Here’s the problem, the main reason for booking this very expensive evening is the stars, so you are completely at the mercy of the weather, if it’s cloudy, game over. I think we saw about 10 stars, I’m sure if you are lucky and have a crystal clear night sky the experience would be different, it’s just a very expensive gamble.
