LOISABA - SOOTHING, CALMING, PRISTINE NATURE
To the north lie the grassy plains of the plateau; to the south, the plateau breaks into valleys, cliffs and escarpments that frame stunning views up to the snows of Mount Kenya. At their base lies a different riverine ecosystem on the banks of two major rivers, the Ewaso N’giro and the Engare Narok. The wilderness is a haven for more than 260 species of birds and 50 species of wildlife. Alongside all the more usual types, elephant, buffalo, grevy zebra and greater kudu abound; the area is also rapidly gaining a reputation for exceptional big cat sightings. Even wild dog, thought for many years to be extinct in the region are now appeared to be re-colonising Laikipia and are closely monitored in this area. Situated in the very heartland of the nomadic Samburu and Laikipiak Maasai
people, Loisaba also offers a rare insight into cultures, traditions and a way
of life that has stood the test of time. |
