"Karibu Nyumbani" Welcome Home

I'm inviting you to join me in Kenya at Elewana Loisaba Tented Camp this June for one of my most favorite lodges and experiences in Kenya.

 

Picture this: sunrise over the Laikipia Plateau, lions following your vehicle because they're curious about the tail lights, wild dogs on the hunt, elephants crossing right in front of you, and potential for black leopard sightings. Six days at the stunning Loisaba Tented Camp, a Condé Nast award winner for 2024 and nominated for Travel + Leisure's 2026 World's Best Awards, perched on the edge of an escarpment with unhindered views stretching all the way to Mt. Kenya.

Your spacious tent suite features floor-to-ceiling windows, polished wood floors, and chic Africana décor with a modern European twist. After days of photographing wildlife, you'll relax on the expansive wooden deck or take a dip in one of Africa's most picturesque infinity pools while watching the sun set over 57,000 acres of pristine wilderness.

This isn't just a safari. It's 8 days total (6 at Loisaba, 2 travel days) of immersive photography opportunities in one of Kenya's most important wildlife conservancies, with me guiding along side of you, and a small group of like minded individuals. We'll track wildlife in our private safari vehicle, I'll teach you how to capture that perfect moment, and we'll review your images together during the trip as well as after you're back home.

Loisaba sits on a critical elephant migration corridor, meaning authentic encounters with elephants, lions, leopards, wild dogs, and over 260 bird species. The Elewana Collection, which operates Loisaba, is also a Condé Nast award winner, ensuring world-class service and conservation standards.

Guests can explore the landscape through various activities, including day and night game drives in custom Land Rover safari vehicles, experiencing the diverse wildlife and scenery of this important conservation area.
