Laikipia
Laikipia is a remarkable region that is shaped by dramatic escarpments and sweeping landscapes that seem to stretch endlessly. Set in the heart of northern Kenya, its remote setting allows for more intimate safari experiences, with far fewer crowds than many of its southern counterparts.
While Laikipia’s scenery is captivating, the wildlife remains the true highlight. Lion, elephant, buffalo, reticulated girafee, leopard, Grevy’s zebra, and wild dog roam the land. Along with game drives, all these wonderful wildlife can also be experienced on walking safaris, horseback safaris, camel treks and night game drives. These are great ways to search for wildlife and explore the landscape.
As in many parts of Kenya, local communities play a pivotal role in shaping the region. Laikipia is home to a mix of communities, each with its own distinct relationship to the land, helping to guide how the land is use for tourism and conservation purposes.This close connection between people and place adds depth and meaning to the safari experience.
with its private conservancies, conservation-focused accommodation, and its landscape,Laikipia is able to offer a compelling safari that stands in appealing contrast to Kenya’s more famous national parks and reserves.
