The eastern escarpment of the Rift Valley known as the Laikipia Plateau, is divided into a patchwork of enormous ranches. Over the years with cooperation from their owners, these farms were transformed into game reserves and now contain some of the most exclusive lodges in the remotest parts of Kenya.
The high plains of Laikipia sit under a majestic snow-capped Mount Kenya and are made up of a patchwork of private reserves with superb family-run safari lodges. This is regarded as one of Kenya’s best safari regions with plentiful game and few visitors, an example of sustainable tourism at its best, and the location of some truly beautiful lodges.
