Laikipia

is a wildlife plateau below Mount Kenya

Welcome to Laikipia

Conservancies and Walking Safaris

Laikipia is a high plateau in central Kenya made up of private ranches and conservancies. Ol Pejeta Conservancy is home to black rhino and a chimpanzee sanctuary, and the region offers walking safaris and night drives that are not allowed in national parks. Mount Kenya rises on its southern edge.

We link Laikipia with Samburu, the Masai Mara and the Aberdares in a single itinerary.

Things to do in Laikipia

Laikipia safari ideas: family bush safari at a Kenyan safari camp

Visit Ol Pejeta Conservancy to see black rhinos and the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary. Then go on a walking safari or night drive, because many conservancies allow them. You can also try a camel or horseback safari for a different view of the plateau.

Best time to visit

Laikipia is good all year, because its conservancies are never crowded. However, the dry months from June to October and from January to February are the easiest for game viewing.

How to get there

Laikipia is about four hours from Nairobi by road. Flights also serve airstrips at Nanyuki and in several conservancies.
