For one of the best safari regions in Kenya – look to Laikipia Central Highlands. Great range of enticing camps and lodges from the Kenya holiday experts.
From the earliest British and European settlers to the macabre Mau Mau rebellion, the region has a history of land conflicts. Today the hills below the peaks of Mount Kenya are peppered with cultivated fields near Aberdare National Park. Tourists can stop over in luxury lodges that were once old cattle ranches and walk with the Masai warriors to track animals the traditional way.
The Laikipia Plateau is home to many Masai and Samburu communities and about 10% of Kenya’s black rhino population is found here in Lewa.
The Maasai, Mukugodo, Kikuyu, Samburu, Meru, Turkana and Pokot tribes have successfully worked together to rebuild this beautiful area from a patchwork of ranches into a significant wildlife reserve.
The Central Highlands is known for its breath-taking scenery, world-class accommodation deals, high volumes of wildlife and few visitors.
