Loisaba Conservancy

Galago Private Canvas - luxury glamping deep in Loisaba Conservancy. 40% of every booking funds Loisaba directly, more than any other camp on the conservancy. That keeps rangers heading out at dawn, 38 rhinos under watch including 6 calves born this year, 4,700+ children fed daily, and 2,600+ patients reached annually through mobile clinics. Every stay translates directly into measurable impact. Yours included. One group at a time. No permanent footprint. Nothing between you and the wild. To book, email [email protected]. #GalagoPrivateCanvas #Loisaba #LaikipiaSafari #Kenya #LuxuryGlamping #ConservationTravel #LandConnectedLifeProtected

A healthy lion population is one of the clearest signs of a functioning ecosystem. It means prey is abundant, rangelands are intact, and the whole system is working from the ground up. Through our partnership with @lionlandscapes , we collar and track lions across Loisaba and the surrounding landscape in real time. That data powers everything from early warning systems for livestock owners to Lion Rangers on the ground who shadow prides as they move into high-risk areas. The goal isn't just protecting lions - it's reducing conflict so that communities and predators can coexist. Fewer livestock lost means fewer lions killed in retaliation.

Loisaba Conservancy is a critical wildlife corridor between the Ewaso Ng'iro River and the northern rangelands. At this time of year, elephant herds move through in numbers, tracking ancient routes between water sources as the long rains begin to ease. From camp, those same herds pass within sight of the tent decks in the early mornings, unhurried and largely indifferent to an audience. Laikipia holds one of Kenya's largest elephant populations outside the national reserves, and Loisaba is central to that story. #ElewanaMoments #LandConnectedLifeProtected #LuxuryInTheWild #SafariInStyle #LoisabaTentedCamp #LaikipiaElephants

Happy International Leopard Day! 🐆 Loisaba is one of the best places in Kenya to spot these elusive big cats - but despite their iconic status, leopards remain one of Africa's least-studied large carnivores. We're proud to be working closely with our partners at San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance (@sandiegozoo ) on a leopard research programme. Our research team is collaring leopards across Laikipia, Isiolo and Samburu counties to build a picture of how these cats move through the landscape, where their ranges overlap with communities and livestock, and how we can better tackle human-wildlife conflict. The more we learn, the better equipped we are to protect leopards and support the communities who live alongside them. Because coexistence starts with understanding. #InternationalLeopardDay #LoisabaConservancy #UhifadhiWaChui #LeopardConservation #Laikipia #HumanWildlifeCoexistence #SDZWA #WildlifeResearch #ProtectLeopards #Kenya

Lions are the only truly social cat - every other species is solitary. Cubs are raised communally, nursed by any lactating female in the pride, and spend their first two years learning to hunt through play. When they grow up, their paths split: females stay with the pride for life, forming the backbone of the group across generations. Males are pushed out to fend for themselves. The pride is matrilineal — daughters, mothers, grandmothers, all hunting and raising cubs together.

Here's what Q1 2026 looked like at Loisaba. From joining a global conservation network (@intoheritage ) to treating one of our rhinos, removing over 83,000 invasive cacti, and supporting thousands of students across 10 schools #LoisabaConservancy #Conservation #Laikipia #Kenya #Q1Highlights #INTO #WildlifeConservation #CommunityConservation

This Earth Day, a look at what conservation-led land management means in practice at Loisaba Conservancy. Across 58,000 acres in northern Laikipia, the conservancy sits at the centre of a 15-million-acre ecosystem connecting Kenya's central highlands to Samburu and the north. Over 800 elephants use these migration corridors seasonally, alongside over 60 mammal species including lion, leopard and the endangered Grevy's zebra. Rhinos returned to this landscape after a 50-year absence, and in 2025, five black rhino calves were born with zero poaching incidents since 2017. On the ground, 450+ staff (from rangers and rhino monitors to livestock herders) work alongside Samburu and Maasai communities through programmes that connect conservation outcomes to livelihoods, healthcare and education. Last year alone, teams removed over 250,000 invasive cactus plants to restore wildlife corridors. #EarthDay #LoisabaConservancy #Laikipia #Kenya #Conservation #WildlifeConservation

Did you know that cheetahs actually prefer scrubland over open savannah? Their extraordinary agility allows them to outmanoeuvre prey through dense bush, making it their ideal hunting ground. It's competition from larger predators - lions and leopards - that pushes them out into the open grasslands where we most often see them. So the landscape we associate most with cheetahs isn't their first choice, it's their compromise. At Loisaba Conservancy, our mosaic of habitats gives cheetahs the freedom to use the terrain they naturally thrive in, not just the space left over by bigger cats.

Masters of stealth, leopards are among the most elusive and least studied of Africa's big cats. Here at Loisaba Conservancy, we're home to around 40 of these remarkable animals - and thanks to our partnership with San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance (SDZWA), we're working to change how much we know about them. Leopards are the most adaptable of all big cat species, thriving across a wider range of habitats than any other wild felid. That adaptability means they can live in surprisingly close proximity to people - but this overlap comes at a cost. Livestock predation can lead to human-wildlife conflict and, tragically, retaliatory killings, one of the leading threats to leopard populations across Africa. Through ongoing research at Loisaba, SDZWA is helping us better understand leopard movement, behaviour and population dynamics, knowledge that is essential for developing strategies that allow people and leopards to coexist. Protecting leopards means protecting the landscapes we share with them.

Happy 8th birthday, Akitam! Originally from Lewa, Akitam is one of Loisaba’s more relaxed female black rhinos — calm, adventurous, and comfortable in both open and bushy areas. Known by the team for her peaceful nature, she is also proving to be an attentive first-time mother. Her calf, Olakira, was born in October last year and is doing very well. Female black rhinos usually begin breeding between 5 and 7 years old, so Akitam’s first calf is an encouraging sign that she has settled well into the Loisaba landscape. A special birthday for a very special rhino — and a beautiful glimpse of the next generation. #LandConnectedLifeProtected #BlackRhinoConservation #WildlifeProtection #MotherNature #AnimalLovers #EndangeredSpecies #CelebrateWildlife #LoisabaConservancy
