Laikipia Safari

Private Camp Borana

Arrive at Borana either by private charter or scheduled flight, in time for lunch in camp. Borana is a wildlife conservancy in pristine countryside on the Northern slopes of Mount Kenya with beautiful views of the snow-capped peaks of the Mountain in the south & the rugged Mathews Range to the north. It is home to large numbers of rhino & seeing these prehistoric beasts from the back of a horse is a real highlight.

Private Camp Borana

A full day exploring this wildlife rich conservancy by horseback and vehicle, with a picnic lunch on the Ngare Ndare River. Borana has a high concentration of big cats and there is always a chance to find these predators from horseback. Borana is situated on top of an escarpment and the scenery here is spectacular. Borana is home to hosts Nicky and Michael Dyer, who own and run this exceptional conservancy.

Private Camp Loldaiga Hills

Today is the first moving day, as you ride westwards with a picnic lunch. Cross Ole Naishu and onto Lolldaiga, winding past large Kopje’s interspersed with cedar forest, before reaching Lolldaiga North Camp.

From this camp you will enjoy two days of spectacular riding in the northern areas of the ranch, exploring up into the hills and valleys which harbor elephant and buffalo.

At one point you will be on the western edge of the Lolldaiga Hills with spectacular views over the Laikipia Plateau below, where you’ll traverse over the coming days.

Same as above

Private Lolldaiga South Camp

This morning head out of camp and ride in a southerly direction across this beautiful ranch and conservancy with so many hidden valleys to explore. Lolldaiga is 55,000 acres and probably one of the most beautiful farms in Africa. Reach camp at the head of a beautiful valley surrounded by cedar forest where you stay again for 2 nights.

Private El Karama Camp

Today is moving day as you head out across to Enasoit, another private conservancy, through a hidden valley on elephant and buffalo tracks interspersed with little dams. From Enasoit cross onto the specialist cattle ranch of Mogwooni, home to the Kenyon family where we will stop for lunch on the Nanyuki River. After lunch head across to El Karama Conservancy for the next 2 nights.

Private El Karama Camp

A full day exploring this pretty 13,000 acre wildlife conservancy by horse and vehicle with the option of a game walk along the river, before lunch. El Karama is home to world renowned wildlife sculptor, Murray Grant, and a visit to his studio is a fascinating experience. There is a host of game including Grevy’s zebra, the rare endemic Jackson’s hartebeest, elephant, giraffe and hippo in the river.
