LAIKIPIA

Laikipia is a plateau between the North Kenya deserts and the Aberdare Mountain Range. The Laikipia wildlife sanctuary is home to the largest elephant population in Kenya and was made famous by Kuki Gallman in her book, "I Dreamed of Africa". Safaris are conducted on a private ranch of 50,000 acres of wilderness, on the edge of an escarpment overlooking plains, valleys and acacia and wild olive forests. Game drives, bush walks and horseback rides offer views of herds of zebra, eland, elephant, hartebeest, reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, Grant's gazelle, and of course the predators such as leopard, lion, cheetah and the rare caracal.
