What sets Laikipia Wilderness apart is the sheer breadth of ways to experience the bush
Set in the heart of Ol Doinyo Lemboro, a 21,000-acre conservancy in Central Laikipia - one of Kenya's most varied and wildlife-rich landscapes - it offers a relaxed, unpretentious take on safari life. This is bush camping in its truest sense: personal, off-grid, and built for those who want an authentic, adventurous experience without the formality. Offering five unique accommodations each carrying the same easy, no-frills character and warm hospitality that guests keep coming back for.

Wildlife
Laikipia's largely unfenced landscape allows game to move freely with the rains, supporting an extraordinary range of species. The area is a stronghold for more than 70% of the world's remaining Grevy's zebra, alongside reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, zorilla, striped hyena, aardwolf, and wild dog. Large permanent populations of elephant, lion, leopard, spotted hyena, common zebra, warthog, hippo, buffalo, and numerous antelope species are also present, along with some 350 recorded bird species. A mammal and bird checklist is provided in the Laikipia Wilderness guest booklet.
Leopard Tracking - Laikipia boasts one of the highest leopard densities in Africa, and sightings here are exceptional.

The days unfold however you choose
Whether you stay still or go far, let our expert team tailor every moment.
Your stay is hosted, not just booked. From the moment you arrive, our team is on hand to shape a safari experience around you - not the other way around. Whether it's an early start to catch the light over the plains, a picnic in a favourite spot, or simply knowing how you take your coffee, being hosted means the details are anticipated, not requested. It's this personal touch that turns a stay into something bespoke, tailored to how you want to experience Laikipia.
Guiding here is a different craft
Laikipia doesn't have the open, game-dense plains of the Mara - wildlife here is more dispersed, the terrain more varied, and sightings are earned rather than guaranteed. That's exactly what makes our guides exceptional. Reading tracks, understanding subtle movement patterns, and knowing the landscape's hidden corners are second nature to them. What might take luck elsewhere takes skill here - and it shows in the sightings they consistently deliver, from elusive predators to rare species you won't find on the more crowded circuits
