Laikipia is one of Kenya’s most unique and rewarding safari destinations, offering an extraordinary blend of wildlife, culture, and conservation. Located north of Mount Kenya, this vast plateau stretches across scenic landscapes—open savannahs, rolling hills, river valleys, and forested highlands—with breathtaking views of snow-capped Mount Kenya on the horizon.

Unlike traditional parks, Laikipia is made up of private and community-owned conservancies where wildlife conservation, sustainable tourism, and local livelihoods work hand-in-hand. It’s home to an incredible variety of wildlife, including the Big Five, and hosts half of Kenya’s black rhino population, large herds of elephants, and rare species like Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, and African wild dogs.

Laikipia offers an exclusive safari experience, far from the crowds. Visitors can enjoy game drives, walking safaris, horseback rides, or camel treks across pristine wilderness. Cultural encounters with the Samburu and Maasai communities enrich the experience, showcasing their deep connection to the land and wildlife.

For those seeking adventure, the region hosts events like the Lewa Safari Marathon, while luxury lodges and eco-camps offer comfort, seclusion, and panoramic views. Laikipia is more than just a safari destination—it’s a living model of community-driven conservation, where tourism directly supports both people and nature.
