Elewana Loisaba Lodo Springs

Lodo Springs sits within Loisaba Conservancy on the Laikipia Plateau, where the elevated position creates dramatic vistas across the Ewaso Nyiro River valley. Mount Kenya's peaks emerge on clear mornings above the acacia woodlands and open grasslands that characterize this high-altitude sanctuary.

The lodge occupies a position where northern Kenya's endemic species thrive in the plateau's cooler temperatures and diverse habitats. Rocky outcrops frame views across the valley, while seasonal streams cut through the landscape that transitions from woodland to grassland across the conservancy's expanse.

Your days here unfold with the freedom that private conservancy status provides. Guides drive off-road following wildlife behavior, conduct night drives to observe nocturnal species, and access sightings without the vehicle quotas and road restrictions that constrain Kenya's national parks. The conservancy hosts more threatened species than anywhere else in East Africa, concentrated in habitats that range from riverine forests along the Ewaso Nyiro to the open plains where endangered Grevy's zebra graze alongside reticulated giraffe.

Adventure activities extend beyond traditional game drives. The conservancy offers mountain biking and walking safaris that reveal the smaller details of this ecosystem. The plateau's elevation creates microclimates that support species diversity uncommon at lower altitudes, from endemic species to desert-adapted oryx that venture up from the northern frontier districts.

Evening brings the conservancy's signature experience: sundowners positioned to capture the expansive views across the Ewaso Nyiro valley, where the day's last light illuminates the geological formations that define this corner of the Laikipia Plateau. The absence of light pollution reveals star fields that stretch uninterrupted across the African sky.
