A place with its own character

Why choose
Laikipia?

Laikipia is a region of conservancies and ranchlands, rather than a single national park. Choosing the right property and access arrangements is the heart of planning a rewarding visit.

Laikipia itineraries centre on a named conservancy base. Northern circuits link the region with Ol Pejeta, Samburu and Meru.

Look a little closer

What makes
this place different.

Each destination has its own landscapes, wildlife habitats and activities. Private guiding follows the booked itinerary and the permitted routes.

Choose your conservancy

Each property operates within a defined conservancy area. The itinerary identifies the accommodation and game-drive access.

Discuss time beyond the vehicle

Guided walks and night drives follow the rules of the individual conservancy and property. Their guiding and activity charges form part of the booking.

Notice the wider landscape

Highland light, grassland and acacia country offer a slower wildlife setting. Wild dog or other rare-species sightings cannot be promised.

Good to know

Permission for an activity on one conservancy does not apply across Laikipia. The named property and written programme determine what is included.

Choose a base that makes sense

Where you stay
shapes your safari.

Camp and lodge location determines access to wildlife areas and the length of transfers. The accommodation booking identifies the property, room category and meal plan.

A conservancy lodge

A conservancy stay combines a named property, permitted game-drive area and guiding arrangement. The itinerary identifies the vehicles used for each activity.

A tented camp

Tented camps vary in room facilities, power supply, meals and activity arrangements. The property programme distinguishes private transport from shared camp activities.

An Ol Pejeta combination

Ol Pejeta sits within the wider Laikipia landscape but has its own entry and activity arrangements. State each base separately in the quote.

Compare the whole trip.

The safari total covers the items listed in the quotation: accommodation, meals, private transport, guiding, entries, activities and transfers. Rates vary by season, party size and room arrangement.
