Day 2: Nairobi- Laikipia (flight)

After breakfast, you will be transferred to the airstrip for your chartered flight to Laikipia. One of the greatest advantages of visiting Laikipia during your adventurous wildlife safari in Kenya with Trav Interactive Tours is an opportunity to view an abundance of wildlife while partaking activities that are restricted in national parks in Kenya. These multi-faceted activities are further enhanced by the low number of other guests due to the limited rooming capacity at the sub-conservancies, making Laikipia the perfect choice for those who desire an exclusive African safari experience.
Dependent on where you are staying in Laikipia, activities include game drives, bush walks, horseback riding, camel walks and camel rides, aerial helicopter and bi-plan safaris, village visits, quad biking, mountain biking, fishing and much more. While game drives are the most widely-available excursions in East Africa, your wildlife-seeking drives at Laikipia are truly unique – available day and night. Dinner and overnight stay at your pre-booked camp or lodge.

The area boasts the highest diversity of large mammals in Kenya and is also home to several endangered species such as the Grevy’s Zebra, Wild-dog, and Jackson’s hartebeest. The walking safaris with Karisia traverse beautiful county with geologic structures of immense age that tell stories of a turbulent and rich history. Archaeological artefacts like flints, shrad, graves and pottery litter much of the ground near the camps and in all this evidence are fascinating stories of an equally turbulent cultural history. Dinner and overnight stay at your pre-booked camp or lodge.

Day 4: Laikipia full day

On this day you can visit Tumaren camp. Situated at the eastern periphery of a wide plain, Tumaren looks westward towards a series of granitic kopjes that define Eastern Laikipia.

This luxury tented camp was originally the home of Kerry and James (owners of Karisia Walking Safaris) and it has 4 beautiful sleeping tents which have solar lighting and running water. Guests staying here do walks, camel rides, picnics, rock climbing and game viewing and come back to the camp each day. Dinner and overnight stay at your pre-booked camp or lodge.
