After breakfast, you will be transferred to the airstrip for your flight to Laikipia. One of the greatest advantages of visiting Laikipia during your adventurous wildlife safari in Kenya is the opportunity to view an abundance of wildlife while partaking in 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.

Depending 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.

Here you will visit Karisia walking safaris located in Eastern Laikipia, an area North of Mt Kenya known for its wilderness and wildlife. 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 a beautiful county with geologic structures of immense age that tell stories of a turbulent and rich history. Archaeological artifacts 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.
