Why Visit
Laikipia is Kenya’s ultimate trailblazing safari destination, where untamed wild lands meet pioneering community and wildlife conservation. Sprawling across a vast plateau beneath the dramatic shadow of Mount Kenya, this breathtaking region has transformed former cattle ranches into exclusive, private wildlife sanctuaries that offer a wilder, more intimate alternative to traditional national parks.Famed for its high concentration of endangered species, Laikipia is a critical stronghold for half of Kenya's black rhino population, the world's highest concentration of Grevy's zebras, and thriving packs of rare African wild dogs. Because the region is comprised of private conservancies like Ol Pejeta and Lewa, it frees travellers from strict park rules. This allows for immersive wilderness experiences impossible elsewhere, including thrilling night game drives, guided walking safaris, camel treks, and horseback safaris alongside big game.For discerning clients seeking low-vehicle crowds, ultra-luxury eco-lodges, and meaningful travel that directly funds community development, Laikipia delivers an unmatched, exclusive safari experience.
Ideal For
