Laikipia

In the heart of Kenya, the Laikipia Plateau has all the ingredients for a top class walking destination. It has an average elevation of 2000m – not high enough to leave you breathless, but perfect temperatures for expeditions on foot. Shaped by volcanic forces, the terrain is varied, with plenty of rocky hills and wooded valleys and reliable water sources, fed from the moorland slopes of Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Range, give Laikipia a wealth of wildlife. That animal life can be surprising because the area is a transitional zone between the vast grasslands found in the Mara/Serengeti ecosystem to the south and the arid lands to the north. Walkers spot local specials such as the reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, Günther’s dik-dik, Grévy’s zebra and squadrons of gorgeous vulturine guineafowl.

Laikipia is especially known for multi-day camel supported walking safaris, led by Turkana and Samburu guides and local Laikipia Masai trackers. Luxury vehicle supported mobile safaris are also an option, and a number of lodges offer day walks.
