Laikipia Plateau

About Laikipia Plateau

Laikipia Plateau is Kenya's conservation success story and the country's most important wildlife area outside the national parks. This mosaic of private conservancies, community ranches, and wildlife corridors supports Kenya's second-largest elephant population, the highest density of endangered black rhino anywhere on Earth, and some of the best wild dog tracking in Africa. What makes Laikipia unique is its pioneering conservation model where wildlife coexists with local communities and livestock ranches, creating a sustainable ecosystem that benefits both people and animals. The activities available here go far beyond traditional game drives — horseback safaris, camel treks, helicopter flights, and walking safaris offer experiences unavailable in any national park.
