Accommodation:- Constructed from stone, local timber and thatch, the lodge is perched high on the edge of the plateau looking south towards Mount Kenya. Each room has large French windows that open onto a private deck cantilevered off the escarpment. The views are legendary, and a water hole a few hundred feet below draws continuous wildlife.
The furniture in the lodge is handmade at Loisaba. The lodge has a swimming pool, tennis court, bocce court and croquet lawn. The spa offers massage, a few beauty treatments and a romantic open-air bubble bath, all with a tranquil view of the unspoilt Karissia Hills.
7 rooms: 4 doubles and 3 twins. One room has a separate sitting room that can double as a further bedroom for a family group. Each room has an en-suite bathroom and 24hr 240 volt power.

The Star Beds – Kiboko and Koija:- The two sets of Star Beds are unique to Loisaba. The first and original set is located among a kopje of rocks in one of the eastern valleys overlooking the ‘Kiboko’ waterhole. The second and newer set is located about 8 kilometres further south on the banks of the Ewaso N’giro River. These are cantilevered over the flowing river below and are reached by suspension bridge from the opposite bank. These are named ‘Koija’ Star Beds and are part of an exciting new joint venture project that Loisaba has undertaken in partnership with the Laikipiak Maasai people from the Koija community.
Each Star Bed dramatically designed, handcrafted wooden raised platform, and partially covered with a thatched roof. Homemade ‘Mukokoteni’ (uniquely designed bed on wheels’), can either be wheeled onto the open deck area for a night under the stars, or left under the shelter of a thatched roof. All the beds have complete ‘four-poster’ insect netting. The Star Beds are normally reached by one of many options; on foot, horse, camel or vehicle and with two sets now in place create a unique opportunity to travel between them both and the lodge as part of a Star Bed Expedition. Guests are guided and hosted by a team of traditional Samburu and Laikipiak Maasai warriors. Food is prepared in traditional camp kitchen.
Both the Kiboko and Koija Star Beds comprise of, 2 double sleeping platforms and one twin or family platform. Each double platform is designed for 1 or 2 people in 1 large double bed. The twin or family platform accommodates up to 4 people (sharing bathroom facilities.)in 2 large double beds Each platform is en-suite and has a large camp-style shower. The platforms are sited to ensure complete privacy.
