Laikipia
Nestled to the north of Nairobi and Mount Kenya, the Laikipia Plateau serves as the gateway to Kenya’s untamed northern frontier. Renowned for its vast wilderness and sweeping vistas, this remote region is a haven for those seeking unspoiled natural beauty. Dotted with expansive cattle ranches and private estates, many of which now operate as private wildlife sanctuaries, Laikipia is home to an extraordinary array of wildlife, including the iconic Big Five.
This remarkable destination boasts a wealth of endemic species such as the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, African wild dog, and the elusive sitatunga antelope. Notably, Laikipia safeguards over 50% of Kenya’s rhino population, with several sanctuaries dedicated to breeding and protecting both black and white rhinos.
Beyond its wildlife, Laikipia is a shining example of successful conservation efforts, with many reserves managed collaboratively with local communities. This harmonious relationship between conservation and local culture makes Laikipia not only a wildlife haven but also a unique and meaningful travel experience.
