Laikipia is one of Kenya’s top emerging tourism destinations, offering a unique blend of wildlife conservation, community-based tourism, and breathtaking landscapes. Nestled on the edge of the Rift Valley and stretching from the slopes of Mount Kenya to the arid north, Laikipia is home to some of the country’s most successful private and community conservancies, such as Ol Pejeta and Lewa, which host endangered species like the black rhino and Grevy’s zebra. The county is a haven for safari-goers looking to escape the crowds of more traditional parks like the Maasai Mara. Visitors can enjoy camel safaris, horseback riding, cultural encounters with Maasai and Samburu communities, and luxurious eco-lodges. Laikipia’s focus on conservation and sustainable tourism makes it an ideal destination for travelers seeking meaningful, off-the-beaten-path adventures in Kenya.
