Set against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Kenya’s snow-dusted peak, the Laikipia Plateau stretches from the northwestern slopes of Mt. Kenya to the edge of the Great Rift Valley. This rugged, remote, and utterly captivating region has transformed from colonial ranchland into one of Africa’s most successful conservation landscapes—where wildlife, community, and tourism exist in harmony./
Spanning over 9,500 square kilometers, Laikipia is Kenya’s second-largest wildlife area after the Masai Mara. But unlike the Mara, it offers an experience that is more private, more flexible, and deeply personal.
Laikipia is home to some of Kenya’s largest elephant herds, thriving populations of black and white rhinos, and big cats including lion, leopard, and cheetah. This is one of the few places in Africa where you may also encounter:

Here, safari isn’t about ticking off sightings. It’s about immersion.
