The Laikipia plateau in central Kenya is one of the last stronghold of romantic East Africa: vast open ranches, shadowed by snow-capped Mount Kenya, home to diverse communities including the Maasai and Samburu. These tribespeople have joined together in partnership with the settlers and ranchers to create a conservation and wildlife haven that spans two million acres of wild savannah.

It is home to more endangered mammals than anywhere else in East Africa, protecting half of Kenya’s black rhino. The “Big 5” are often seen and the region also boasts large herds of elephant. Wild dog, leopard, lion, cheetah and other predators hunt the plentiful plains game.

Accommodation: Bush Camps

Mt Kenya

Mount Kenya, located on the equator, is Kenya’s highest mountain. With magnificent cliffs and glaciers protecting the highest peaks of Nelion (17,020 ft) and Batian (17,057 ft), it makes for a spectacular technical climb. The third highest summit -Point Lenana (16,060 ft) - is also glaciated, but accessible to walkers.

The mountain’s beautiful lakes and alpine meadows, as well as exotic, equatorial, high-altitude vegetation; and a variety of wildlife (including sunbirds, hyrax and soaring eagles), make the walk around the peaks one of the most beautiful expeditions in the East African mountains.
