Moon’s Camp

Moon’s Camp is a small, owner-managed tented camp nestled on the southern slopes of the breathtaking Lolldaiga Conservancy, a pristine and less-traveled part of northern Kenya. This hidden gem provides a one-of-a-kind safari experience in a region known for its rolling hills, open plains, lush woodlands, and an abundance of wildlife. The camp offers sweeping views of the iconic snow-capped Mt. Kenya and sits beside a lively watering hole that draws in elephants, zebras, impalas, and a host of other wild visitors, providing guests with front-row seats to some of nature’s most majestic moments.

Whether you’re a seasoned safari-goer or a first-time visitor to Africa, Moon’s Camp promises an unforgettable adventure that blends comfort, sustainability, and cultural immersion.

A Safari Camp Like No Other

What sets Moon’s Camp apart is its commitment to preserving the authenticity of a traditional safari while offering a warm, personalized touch. With only five luxurious tents available, guests enjoy an intimate and exclusive atmosphere, far from the crowds and hustle of larger lodges. Each tent has been thoughtfully placed to maximize privacy and scenic views, especially of the nearby watering hole, a daily stage for animal encounters both dramatic and serene.

Guests are immersed in nature without sacrificing comfort. The tented suites are spacious and stylish, with large, cozy beds, solar-powered lighting, charging ports for personal devices, and ample storage space. The en-suite bathrooms are equally charming, boasting a carved wooden sink, a flushing toilet, and hot water showers – all the modern comforts you’d expect, wrapped in rustic safari charm.

Adventures Across the Lolldaiga Hills

Staying at Moon’s Camp opens the door to a wide variety of outdoor adventures. The Lolldaiga Hills Conservancy, often referred to as the “Laikipia secret,” offers a strikingly beautiful and diverse landscape – from golden savannahs and wooded valleys to ancient rock outcrops and riverine forests.

Wildlife Viewing
Guests can embark on guided game drives in classic, safari-converted Land Rovers. The conservancy is home to lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, hyenas, and numerous antelope species. Since it’s a private conservancy, vehicles are limited, allowing for peaceful and uninterrupted wildlife viewing. Morning and evening drives provide different experiences – from the golden light of dawn to the thrill of nocturnal predators on the prowl.

Walking Safaris and Fly Camping
For those who seek a deeper connection with the land, walking safaris across the hills are a must. Led by experienced guides, these excursions allow you to explore the finer details of the ecosystem – animal tracks, bird calls, medicinal plants, and more. For the adventurous at heart, Moon’s Camp offers “fly camping” in lush woodlands – a back-to-basics overnight experience where you sleep under the stars in mobile tents and dine beside a fire, surrounded by the sounds of the wild.

Climbing and Exploration
Climb the ancient rocky outcrops scattered across the landscape, offering sweeping panoramic views and the chance to feel like the only person for miles. These climbs are suitable for all fitness levels and are often paired with snacks and sundowners to celebrate the view.

Sustainable and Community-Focused

At Moon’s Camp, sustainability is at the heart of everything. From its eco-conscious design to its support of local communities, every decision reflects a deep respect for the land and the people who call it home.

Eco-Friendly Design
The camp is built with minimal environmental impact. No concrete has been used in construction, and the entire camp is powered by solar energy. A sophisticated greywater system ensures that waste is handled responsibly, protecting the surrounding ecosystem.

Supporting Local Communities
All staff members are hired from nearby villages that border the Lolldaiga Conservancy. This not only provides employment opportunities but also strengthens the relationship between the camp and the surrounding communities. Guests will often hear stories from the staff about their lives, their families, and their connection to the land, adding yet another layer of authenticity to the Moon’s Camp experience.
