Laikipia Plateau
Found deep within the highlands of vibrant Laikipia, Segera is a unique sanctuary, where game roams freely amongst cattle, a thriving example of successful multiple land-use efforts in Africa.
High altitude grasslands, peppered with acacias, comprise a true African landscape where guests can reconnect with nature and embrace a new way of viewing their relationship with the natural world.
A visit to the Laikipia region guarantees a unique experience filled with the vibrant culture, wildlife and serenity of a landscape found at the foothills of Mount Kenya, which in itself is a spectacular site.
Considered the gateway to Kenya's wild and scarcely populated northern frontier country, Laikipia's ranches are home to both cattle and wildlife.
In recent years the latter has become a valuable asset, with many of the surrounding ranches establishing guest lodges. This has resulted in a hugely positive impact on the land, its wildlife and conservation.
It is on this basis that Segera functions. Located right in the centre of these highlands, Segera plays an important role in the conservation of these lands.
Six timber and thatch 2-storey villas are raised above a profusion of botanical life in the Segera Oasis with its sculpture garden; their elevated wooden platforms look out onto the surrounding savannah, with swing beds below providing the perfect shaded midday relaxation as well as for a night out under the stars, surrounded by the sounds of Africa.
Within the privacy of the villas, a large bedroom and en-suite bathroom fill the upstairs space under timber trusses. A private sun deck in the garden offers comfortable sun loungers for soaking up the African sun, while a jacuzzi bath, sunk into the deck outside the bedroom, offers a unique vantage point. Each villa includes in its décor original, individually selected paintings and other art from a range of Africa's most inspiring artists.
