The Laikipia Plateau is situated at the foot of Mount Kenya, and stretches from here to the rim of the Great Rift Valley.   The landscape includes open grassy plains, acacia bushland, cedar forests and kopjes. 

The area is one of the few safari destinations in Kenya where you can view significant numbers of the endangered black rhino.  Alongside the rhino, you can also hope to see elephant, Grevy zebras, impala, gazelle, lion, leopard, buffalo, and a large population of wild dog. 

Despite the excellent game viewing opportunities, Laikipia still remains relatively untouched by the mass safari tourist trade, however.  The lodges here are some of the most luxurious in Africa, all offering a fully inclusive safari experience to their lucky guests. 

The main rainy period is between April and June, and these months are also hot and humid.  The other rainy period is during November and December.   January to March is very hot and dry, whereas July to October is more ‘warm’ and dry – making these 4 months some of the most pleasant to travel in.
