The high plains of the Laikipia plateau offer a safari experience with a difference combined with a community and conservation dimension quite unlike anywhere else in Kenya. Covering an expanse of over two million acres between Mount Kenya and the Rift Valley, the majority of Laikipia’s private ranches have turned their attentions to conservation in a remarkable way, allowing a wilderness experience where big game is uninhibited by man-made barriers, and passionate efforts are made to preserve endangered species such as the white rhino.
Fewer predators roam these plains and so, in addition to the classic safari pursuits of game drives and bush walks, safari enthusiasts can immerse themselves in Laikipia’s wildlife-rich landscape by a variety of different means – on horseback for example, by mountain bike or even on a camel safari. For a different perspective entirely, take to the air on a helicopter flight over endless wilderness, and Lake Turkana with its resident flamingos.
