What they say
Also in AFAR.
Stay at Elewana Loisaba Tented Camp, a collection of eight rooms under canvas that sit on the edge of an escarpment.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The surrounding 57,000-acre conservancy spans northern Laikipia, providing protected habitat for migrating elephants, big cats, and rare Grevy's zebras.
The rooms
Custom canvas tents feature polished timber floors, solar-heated rainfall showers, and wide private decks framing views stretching toward Mount Kenya.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The cliff-edge infinity pool looks out over the open plains, right above a natural wildlife watering hole.
At the table
Meals are served in the open-sided mess tent and out on the timber escarpment deck under the stars.
How it began
Built on the footprint of the former Loisaba Lodge, the camp was developed alongside conservation partners to protect crucial wildlife corridors.
