GUIDE ON ELEWANA LOISABA STAR BEDS IN LAIKPIA

Elewana Loisaba Star Beds Overview & Where Is It Located?

Set amidst a stunningly beautiful wilderness spread over 57,000 acres of the Loisaba Conservancy in northern Laikipia is the Elewana Loisaba Star Beds. This premier rustic safari vacation accommodation presents you the opportunity to experience the spirit of Africa like you never have before. Perched atop a platform, you will be able to view the landscape unobstructed all around.

From your unique vantage point, watch herds of elephants drinking at the waterhole, or gerenuks, buffaloes, impalas, and greater kudu munching on the grasses. If luck is on your side, and if you look carefully, you may spot a lion, hyena, leopard, wild dog or other predators lurking in the distant grasses before their prey senses them and run off. On arrival, you will be welcomed by a cool drink and briefed, and then taken to one of the star beds chalets by a team of Samburu and Maasai warriors.

Later, spend time relaxing in your room or in the lounge area before your tasty lunch and afternoon tea. Thereafter, your Loisaba game viewing journey will be filled with countless delights as you walk or ride atop a camel or horse, or game drive around Laikipia (best time to go).
