Loisaba Starbeds
In the Samburu language, ‘Loisaba' is the name given to the Seven Sisters constellation of stars, which are best viewed in perfect safety from the serene comfort of your open-air ‘starbed'. The Loisaba Conservancy, in Kenya's Laikipia Plateau, spans 56 000 acres and is yours to explore in search of a sizeable elephant population, agile predators like lion and leopard, and packs of endangered wild dog. At night, snuggle into your ‘starbed', which is rolled out of your suite onto a raised wooden platform, for a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience (you can, of course, also choose to sleep indoors).
In addition to day and night game drives in a custom-made open-side Land Rover, you can undertake nature walks with a qualified Samburu guide, saddle up to go horse riding among giraffe and zebra, or go lion tracking with Loisaba's conservationists. On other days, you may find yourself traversing the conservancy by camel or mountain bike, or dropping in at the anti-poaching unit and learning how their intelligent and brave canine units has had major success with trained sniffer dogs.
Perfect as a honeymoon destination for an adventurous couple, the Loisaba Starbeds are one of East Africa's most unusual lodges and have only four different suites available, all overlooking part of the Eastern Valleys and the Kiboko waterhole.

Each ensuite bathroom features a solar-heated shower and flush toilet.
The Family Star Bed platform includes two double beds on separate platforms, perfect for families with younger children.

Loisaba was like the Twilight Zone. I couldn’t imagine something this amazing in the middle of nowhere. The landscaping was out of this world. Talk about intimate, there were only 7 other guests during my stay until the last day, when 24 from Texas showed up. By that time I was ready for the starbed. I would suggest that you recommend anyone staying at the starbeds to bring earplugs and a mask. It’s kinda difficult to sleep when there’s a full moon and you’re used to sleep in total darkness. and irregardlesss of your wake up call time, you will get woken up by the monkies at 0430. It’s not bad if want to watch the sunrise…I was joking with my colleagues that I had to come back to civilization in order to sleep in total darkness and silence. I guess that’s the tradeoff when you want to sleep in and with the African jungle, but I wouldn’t change a thing.
