Our take
Loisaba Lodo Springs has eight spacious tented rooms above the Laikipia plains, with wide views towards Mount Kenya. Personal hosting, generous verandas and access to Loisaba Conservancy’s riding, walking and wildlife programme give it a more private lodge-style safari atmosphere.
Lodo Springs occupies an elevated position within Loisaba Conservancy, looking across the northern Kenya landscape. Eight individual rooms and attentive hosting keep the experience personal, while the main areas and infinity pool provide a place to pause between activities. Loisaba protects important wildlife habitat and an elephant movement corridor. The setting encourages a varied safari, combining drives with time on foot or horseback rather than treating the lodge simply as a base for morning and afternoon vehicle outings.

01
Accommodation
Eight airy tented rooms have floor-to-ceiling doors and windows, polished wooden floors and broad verandas overlooking the plains. Sitting areas, writing desks and outdoor double sunbeds provide room to relax. En-suite bathrooms have rainfall showers and twin basins, with solar-heated hot water. Rooms share the lodge’s main pool. Family sleeping arrangements are arranged according to the rooms available.
02
Food & drink
The elevated dining areas make the landscape part of meals, with freshly prepared dishes and personal service. Bush breakfasts and sundowners offer alternative settings during safari outings. The kitchen can plan around dietary preferences and children’s mealtimes, while longer drives can be organised with a picnic rather than an obligatory return to the lodge.
03
What to do
Drives explore Loisaba’s plains, woodland and river habitats. Guided walks with Samburu guides, horse riding, camel outings and mountain biking bring different perspectives on the conservancy. The anti-poaching team can demonstrate its work when available, and fishing depends on rainfall and water levels. Riding requires suitable experience; specialist activities and private arrangements should be selected before arrival rather than assumed to be available on demand.
Planning your stay
Children are welcomed, with flexible meals and activities adapted to age. The eight individual rooms do not all have the same family sleeping configuration, so agree the room arrangement before booking. Riding, walking and cycling also need to match experience and supervision requirements.
Large rooms and verandas, elevated views and personal hosting distinguish Lodo Springs within the Loisaba collection. The activity choice makes it rewarding for a longer stay, with a mix of wildlife viewing and more active exploration.
Lodo Springs is a separate property from Loisaba Tented Camp and Star Beds, with its own room layout and service style. Its room and pool arrangements differ from the other Loisaba properties. Pack layers for early outings and highland evenings.

Laikipia
Loisaba Star Beds offers an unusual Laikipia stay on a rocky kopje, with four-poster beds that roll onto open platforms beneath the sky. Four accommodation units overlook a valley and waterhole, combining a simple bush atmosphere with Loisaba’s varied safari activities.

Laikipia
Ol Malo is a family-run bush home on the edge of the Laikipia Plateau, with four lodge cottages and a separate private-house option. Horse and camel outings, guided walks and northern Kenya adventures give it a character beyond conventional game drives.

Lodo Springs gives a Laikipia itinerary room for both comfort and activity. Pair it with the Mara for a change of landscape, or Samburu for a wider northern Kenya journey. Leave free time around riding or walking rather than filling every day with transfers and a single rushed drive.
