Laikipia Wilderness

About this hotel

Laikipia Wilderness Camp is a small and personal family-run bush camp with beautiful views of Mt Kenya and the surrounding area. The area is fantastic for big numbers of elephants, giraffe, hippo, Grevy’s zebra, leopard, wild dog, lion, striped and spotted hyena, aardwolf, aardvark, and over 280 species of birds. The camp works closely with the Laikipia Predator Project collecting data from sightings of wild dogs and lions, some of whom are fitted with radio collars for this research and guests are able to participate in this.

The camp owners have 20 years of experience running walking safaris, expeditions and camps in Zimbabwe, Zambia and Kenya and they specialise in making each day an adventure and will suggest a programme designed to suit you.

They offer game drives and walking safaris which can be focussed on specific interests such as photography, tracking game on foot, following specific species and watching animal behaviour.

Laikipia is like nowhere else in Africa. Miles and miles of unfenced wilderness, beautiful scenery, wildlife that is on the increase and in greater numbers than anywhere else in Kenya except the Mara. A perfect climate, wonderful people still very close to their traditions and proud, and the freedom to explore this haven any way you can imagine. Unlike the endless open plains in the Mara, Laikipia boasts a wonderfully variable landscape; rocky outcrops, little rivers, riverine forest, acacia woodland, open plains and escarpments.

Laikipia Wilderness Camp gives you the option of seeing the area by vehicle or with walking safaris use a lightweight mobile camp. This enables guests to follow the wildlife and adventure rather than a set route.
