Mt. Kenya rises to the south; the arid lowlands open to the north. The conservancy is a significant stronghold for black rhino — holding roughly a tenth of Kenya's total population — and supports more Grevy's zebra than any other single location in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe camp has thirteen tents: eleven ensuite safari tents, each with a thatch-covered bedroom, en-suite bathroom, and a verandah, and a family tent that pairs two ensuite tents under one shared verandah. Three of the safari tents can take a third bed for children under sixteen. Twice-daily game drives cover the eastern half of the conservancy, which the camp has largely to itself because Lewa limits the number of tourism operators on the land. Walking safaris of two or four hours go out with guides trained as conservancy rangers, with working knowledge of rhino conservation, botany, and tracks. Horse and camel rides are available for experienced riders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe central area has gardens, a pool with bar service, and evening fires in the sitting room for the cold Laikipia nights. Day trips reach the Ngare Ndare forest on the conservancy's border, where mountain springs and a canopy walkway offer a full change of landscape. Visits to neighbouring Samburu homesteads in the Ngwesi community connect guests to the people who live and work around the conservancy. Lewa reinvests tourism revenue into its conservation and community programmes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wetu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43534531264571,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/206471lewasafaricamp-accommodation-doubletent-17jpg_7d7d6e15-c47c-409c-b912-1ef89c6ed2e6.webp?v=1779382544"},{"product_id":"elewana-loisaba-starbeds","title":"Elewana Loisaba Starbeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eSet on a rocky outcrop in the Loisaba Conservancy, four open-air sleeping platforms command views over an undulating valley and a permanent waterhole used by elephant, buffalo, and plains game. Each handcrafted four-poster bed on wheels rolls out onto a raised wooden deck at night, where guests sleep under the sky. Three double platforms and one family platform — the latter with two beds on separate decks — occupy individual positions among the natural rock features of the kopje. Open-plan bathrooms incorporate the existing granite boulders, with solar-heated showers, flush lavatories, and basins facing the valley. A thatched sitting room with a log fire, an outdoor verandah, and a shared dining area serve as communal spaces. Samburu and Laikipiak Maasai warriors welcome guests and provide hosting throughout the stay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe conservancy covers 57,000 acres on the western edge of a key elephant corridor in Laikipia. Twice-daily game drives depart with professional guides. Walking safaris track wildlife on foot with Samburu trackers. Two-hour horseback and camel safaris cross the plains and river banks. Mountain biking follows escorted trails down the escarpment, and night drives reveal nocturnal species. The anti-poaching unit — four sniffer dogs and their handlers — demonstrates tracking techniques to visitors. Fishing for catfish and tilapia is arranged at dams subject to seasonal rains. Cultural visits include a nearby Samburu village. You can hear the sounds of the waterhole from the platforms. Laundry service and battery charging are complimentary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- plk-tmpl-cb 2026-07-31T09:26:51.049Z --\u003e","brand":"Wetu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43535557984315,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/339781758543244336starbednightunderneath16x9jpg_df5dc755-46bb-4258-9380-db690af79703.webp?v=1779393533"}],"url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/en-us\/collections\/place-laikipia.oembed","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
