Lodo Springs

Location: Lodo Springs sits high on the eastern escarpment of the Laikipia Plateau, deep within the 57,000-acre Loisaba Conservancy in northern Kenya. This elevated position offers panoramic views across the vast, wild landscape - a mosaic of rocky outcrops, grassy plains, and distant hills stretching towards Mount Kenya. It’s a remote and exclusive corner of the country, where wildlife roams free and visitor numbers are deliberately kept low. The feeling of space and seclusion here is extraordinary, and it's a particularly good choice for those wanting privacy, scenery, and top-tier guiding away from the crowds.

Rooms: There are just eight tented rooms at Lodo Springs, each designed to feel like a private retreat in the wild. Set beneath a canopy of acacia and built on wooden platforms, the rooms are generous in size and striking in design - combining canvas, stone, and glass to create something that feels both modern and rooted in place. Inside, you’ll find elegant touches like leather armchairs, handwoven textiles, and vintage-style safari furniture. Huge windows and private decks look straight out across the plains, and dedicated room attendants ensure your stay is seamless and deeply comfortable.

Amenities: Lodo Springs brings a level of polish and attention to detail that’s rare, even by Laikipia standards. There’s a central mess area with indoor and outdoor dining spaces, a relaxed bar and lounge, and a horizon-edge pool that looks out over the conservancy. The food is fresh, imaginative, and beautifully presented - meals can be shared with other guests or taken privately, depending on your preference. Each guest is also assigned a dedicated safari vehicle, guide, and spotter, giving you an exceptionally personalised experience from start to finish.

Activities: With its location in Loisaba Conservancy, Lodo Springs offers outstanding wildlife experiences. Game drives are a highlight, with the chance to see lions, elephants, wild dogs, Grevy’s zebra, and more - all without the congestion you’ll find in busier reserves. Bush walks led by Samburu guides offer a deeper understanding of the land, while camel treks and horse riding safaris provide a different perspective on the wilderness. Night drives, stargazing, and cultural visits to local communities add further layers to your stay, making each day feel rich and varied.

Sustainability: Lodo Springs is operated by Elewana Collection and plays a key role in supporting Loisaba Conservancy’s long-term conservation and community efforts. The camp runs entirely on solar power, and part of each stay directly funds anti-poaching work, land restoration, and local employment. The conservancy model here is built on partnerships with local communities, ensuring that tourism benefits people and wildlife alike. By staying at Lodo Springs, you’re directly contributing to one of Kenya’s most forward-thinking conservation landscapes.
