Lodo Springs

Lodo Springs is an exclusive luxury safari lodge set within the vast wilderness of Loisaba Conservancy on Kenya’s Laikipia Plateau. Perched along the edge of a dramatic escarpment, the lodge offers sweeping views across the rugged valleys and open plains of northern Kenya.

The lodge combines contemporary luxury with the raw beauty of the Laikipia landscape, providing an intimate safari experience within one of Kenya’s most progressive conservation areas.

With just a small number of private villas, Lodo Springs offers a high level of privacy and personalised service, making it an ideal choice for travellers seeking a refined safari experience away from busier wildlife destinations.

Location & Landscape

Lodo Springs lies within the 57,000-acre Loisaba Conservancy, an important conservation landscape located north of Mount Kenya.

The surrounding environment is defined by dramatic escarpments, open savannah, and dry river valleys that stretch toward the Mathews Range in northern Kenya. From the lodge terraces guests enjoy vast panoramic views across the conservancy.

Because Loisaba operates as a private wildlife conservancy, safari activities are flexible and visitor numbers remain limited, creating a far more exclusive safari atmosphere than in national parks.

Accommodation & Design

Lodo Springs features a small collection of spacious private villas positioned along the escarpment overlooking the valley below.

Each villa offers:

• Large private decks with expansive views
• Elegant interiors inspired by contemporary African design
• En-suite bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers
• Personal butler service
• Private plunge pools in selected villas

The architecture blends beautifully with the surrounding landscape, allowing guests to experience both privacy and immersion in the wilderness.

Safari Experience

Safaris at Lodo Springs take place within the extensive Loisaba Conservancy, allowing guests to enjoy a wide range of safari activities rarely available in national parks.

Experiences may include:

• Guided game drives
• Night game drives
• Walking safaris with experienced guides
• Horseback safaris
• Camel safaris across the plains
• Cultural visits to local Samburu communities

Guests may also visit the nearby Loisaba Star Beds, one of Kenya’s most unique overnight safari experiences.

Because the conservancy is privately managed, safari vehicles often explore the landscape without encountering large numbers of other visitors.

Wildlife

Loisaba Conservancy supports an impressive diversity of wildlife.

Animals commonly encountered include:

• Elephant
• Lion and leopard
• Wild dog
• Reticulated giraffe
• Grevy’s zebra
• Buffalo and plains game

The conservancy forms part of a vital wildlife corridor connecting Laikipia with Kenya’s northern ecosystems.
