Loisaba Lodge, Laikipia
- Loisaba sits
on 61,000 acres of its own private game ranch in Laikipia, affording views
of the escarpment and game waterhole and across 100kms of wilderness to
Mount Kenya.
- Ask us about
a night at the Star Beds, each designed on a raised, handcrafted, wooden
platform that is partially covered with a thatched roof.
- Homemade
‘Mukokoteni’ beds can either be wheeled onto the open deck for a night under
the stars, or left under the shelter of the roof. Alternatively you can
choose to stay at Loisaba’s Private House or Private Cottage.
- Laikipia is
an adventure playground. Activities include Loisaba’s own exclusive hot air
balloon safaris, horse riding, camel riding, mountain biking, river rafting
and fishing, quad biking, spa and massage.
- Elephant
Pepper Camp is seasonal and is dismantled for three months of the year.
- The
spacious canvas tents, with an en suite dressing room, eco-friendly flush
loos and safari showers, are comfortably furnished.
- Extended
game drives which continue into the evening make game viewing a complete
experience.
- Elephant
Pepper Camp brings people back to nature, no traffic, no permanent
structures obstructing your view, just the sights and sounds of the African
bush.
Manda Bay, Lamu Archipelago
- Manda Bay is
located on the north western tip of Manda Island, one of the many unspoiled,
idyllic islands of the Lamu archipelago.
- An exclusive
resort surrounded by miles of white sand, Manda Bay offers relaxation, water
sports, dhow safaris and luxurious pampering
- From Manda
Bay we have access to Lamu and Shela Village for a taste of authentic
Swahili culture.
Best time of the year
- This safari is
best planned during August and September - book in advance!
- Kenya’s
climate and altitude make it a great year round destination. Over most of
the country there are two rainy seasons: the ‘Short’ rains which occur from
late October through November and the ‘Long’ rains which occur from late
March to early June.
- If you visit
during a rainy period you’ll find that the rain usually falls in the late
afternoon preceded by bright, sunny and fresh days.
- July and
August are the coolest months and are often overcast especially in the
morning.
- December to
mid March is the warmest time of the year.
- The
migration is in the Masai Mara between July and October but space can be at
a premium.
- Cottars and
Elephant Pepper Camp are closed throughout the months of April and May.
Manda Bay closes from mid April to mid July. [See additional
information on the coastal seasons
on Lamu]
