Loisaba Star Beds
Each has a dramatic, raised wooden platform that overlooks the Laikipia plateau and a waterhole regularly frequented by hippo - this spot is where you will sleep come nightfall.
The handcrafted four poster mukokoteni (a uniquely designed bed on wheels) is rolled out onto the deck for your night under the stars. (It can also be left under the shelter of the roof if there is an unexpected change in the weather.)
Service and privacy here are unrivalled with guests benefitting from their own personal “guest ambassador”, a private guide and vehicle for the duration of your stay.
In addition to the star beds, which are an entirely private experience, there are separate areas shared between the guests. These include a dining area, and a lounge with polished wooden floors and high ceilings, decorated in an authentic Kenyan style.
- Sleep out under the gloriously beautiful Kenyan night sky.
- Enjoy a range of exciting activities including game drives, bush walks, camel safaris, horseback safaris and fishing.

When one of TV’s best-known wildlife enthusiast, Steve Backshall, tasked us with crafting an unforgettable father-son safari in celebration of his son’s 5th birthday, we knew exactly how to create a trip that would excite and inspire both in equal measures.
Chloe’s trip took her off well-trodden paths and into the remote corners of Northern Kenya. Staying in Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy and Laikipia, the trip’s slow pace allows time to forge deep connections with the remote, wild landscapes and its people.

I have spent the last 18 years travelling to some of the planet’s most incredible places under the guise of ‘work’. For 11 of those, I have been waiting for my young family to be old enough to join me. In October 2022, that time finally came. Our first family safari in Kenya was perhaps even more special as, like many holidays, it had been postponed twice due to the COVID pandemic but, wow, was it worth the wait!
