Kenya Star Beds

Kenya Star Beds

One of the more unique and interesting accommodation options available when on safari in Kenya, a night (or two) out under the African stars with 360° views of the surrounding wild landscape. A highly recommended activity when staying at any of the below-listed establishments.

Should one be interested, it is important that one book well ahead of arrival, as the star beds are more often than not booked out 6+ months in advance.

As soon as more lodges and camps reopen up their star bed options, we will be adding a lot more sleep-out options to this page once we are out of this Covid pandemic and tourism starts to recover. Currently, most options are going through a refresh, and the new images and information are not available yet.

Sleep Outs In Kenya

  • Ol Malo Lodge

    From US$ 965.00 per person

    The Ol Malo Game Sanctuary offers guest a night out under the stars experience in two absolute stunning and wild locations. 'The Treehouse' and 'The Leopard Hide' are two sleep out concepts that will most certainly be the highlight of one's stay here.

  • Sasaab Lodge

    From US$ 999.00 per person

    Again, a slight cheat when it comes to star beds, Sasaab Lodge does not offer individual star beds per se, but what is on offer is an optional night or two in a mobile expedition camp where one gets to sleep out under the stars in Westgate Conservancy.

  • Elewana Loisaba Star Beds

    From US$ 500.00 per person

    Elewana Loisaba Star Beds is most probable the granddaddy of all sleep-outs in Africa. A superb and different safari experience awaits with double beds that are rolled out onto a wooden platform at night—a night spent under a canopy of stars in the wilds of Africa.

  • ol Donyo Lodge

    From US$ 1 215.00 per person

    All seven of the magnificent suites at ol Donyo Lodge offer up star beds atop each thatched suite. King-sized beds with mosquito netting are open to the African star and the sounds of the surrounding bushveld. Without question, a must for those romantics out there.
