Laikipia is a beautiful and remote region between Mount Kenya and Samburu. Covering a wide range of landscapes including high altitude plateaus, low forested valleys and deep rocky river gorges, the area has become a sanctuary for elephants, lions, leopards, buffaloes and a wealth of plains game. The safari lodges in Laikipia are among the most luxurious in Kenya, and the involvement of local Samburu and Masai communities in tourism allows visitors a rare opportunity to meet local people in a genuine situation.
