The Star Beds of Loisaba, Laikipia

After the bustle of your days safari, setting into the Loisaba star beds will take your breath away.  Set in the picturesque pristine wilderness of Laikipia, these authentic star beds are unique to Loisaba.



Located about 70 kilometers north of mount Kenya – Kenya’s highest peak, the loisaba promises you exclusive status, limitless luxury and authentic star beds.

The ranch offers stunning views of tropical pristine wilderness topped with an array of wilderness activities to unwind in sheer luxury.

Inspired by its secluded ambience and the promise a sky glittered with speckles of diamond like stars with a royal black robed backdrop; a breath taking sight, the star beds remain an attraction worth investing in while on a Kenya Safari.





The two sets of Star Beds are unique to Loisaba. The first and original set are 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 footbridge 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 Masai 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 the 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 Masai warriors. Food is prepared in traditional camp kitchen, Barbeque style.

Both the Kiboko and Koija Star Beds comprise of 2 double sleeping platforms and one twin platform. Each double platform is designed for 1 or 2 people. The family platform accommodates 4 people (sharing bathroom facilities). Each platform is en-suite and has a large camp-style shower. The platforms are sited to ensure complete privacy. A unique destination idea for a Kenya Family Safari.
