Nestled in the heart of Northern Kenya’s stunning Laikipia, Laikipia Wilderness Camp is an enchanting place. Unlike the endless open plains in the Maasai Mara, the Laikipia area boasts a diverse landscape; from rocky outcrops, little rivers, riverine forest, acacia woodland, open plains to escarpments. Surrounded by vast savannahs, rolling hills, and an abundance of wildlife, this classic tented camp offers a safari experience that is both immersive and unforgettable. This particular area is especially great 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. And known for the local melanistic (black) leopard that is seen quite regularly around here.

The camp consists of a tented mess building with dining room, bar and sitting room/library, and a deck in front with open camp-fire in the evenings. With only five guest tents (catering for 10 guests in total), each with an en-suite open air bathroom with hot and cold running water, you will enjoy a more private safari experience. The camp has beautiful views of Mt Kenya and the wilderness and blends sympathetically into this stunning area of true wilderness. As the camp allows children of all ages, it is especially great for a family safari.

The Laikipia Plateau has all the ingredients for a top-class walking destination allowing you to get up close to wildlife. With expert guides, and a commitment to sustainable tourism, Laikipia Wilderness Camp is the perfect sanctuary for adventurers, nature enthusiasts, and anyone seeking an authentic African safari experience.
