Tours and Safaris to Laikipia
What used to be an area of huge livestock farms is now one of Kenya's best conservation success stories. Ranchers in Laikipia are working with local communities to protect wildlife and generate employment from luxury tourim with fantastic results.
The Laikipia district stretches over a vast area from Mount Kenya to the arid northern regions, sprawling between a network of perennial waterways that empty into the great Ewaso Nyiro River and support an abundance of wildlife.
You'll find several endangered species safely harboured in Laikipia. About half of Kenya's black rhino population, several healthy packs of African wild dog and the finely-striped Grevy's zebra have found refuge there. Other wildlife is also here in abundance with some 2,000 elephant which roam freely across the area.
There are three airstrips that service scheduled flights into Laikipia. The main airstrip is Nanyuki, followed by Loisaba and then Lewa Downs. In general, the airstrips are less than an hour's game drive from the safari lodges. When accommodation is more remote, we advise chartering a flight to their private airstrip, especially if you're travelling in a group.
