Laikipia<\/h2>\n

Laikipia lies on the high plains north of Mount Kenya and is home to a network of private conservancies, working cattle ranches and community-owned wildlife areas. Wildlife moves freely between these landscapes, making Laikipia one of East Africa\u2019s most successful conservation regions.<\/h4><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Things to do<\/h2> \t

The Laikipia Plateau is vast and sparsely populated, creating a real sense of space and wilderness. Wildlife sightings can be excellent, with elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, lions and many other species roaming across the conservancies and ranchlands.<\/p>\n

Unlike Kenya\u2019s national parks, many conservancies in Laikipia offer activities beyond traditional game drives. Depending on where you stay, you may be able to: <\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    join a guided walking safari,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    explore on horseback or mountain bike,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    visit local communities, <\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    or learn more about conservation projects in the area.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What makes Laikipia special is the combination of wildlife, conservation and everyday life. Here, people, livestock and wildlife share the same landscape, giving you a different perspective on safari in Kenya.<\/p><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Ol Maisor Farm<\/h2> \t

    Ol Maisor Farm is a lodge and working cattle ranch surrounded by wildlife. Besides game drives, activities may include guided walks, swimming in the dam, or learning about the ranch\u2019s conservation work, including its anti-poaching dog programme.<\/p>\n

    One of the highlights of a stay here is spending time with the ranch team. Their knowledge of the landscape, wildlife and daily life on the ranch offers a unique insight into this part of Kenya.<\/p><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":170,"featured_media":1151,"menu_order":3,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3656","guide","type-guide","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"feed_page_to_atlas":true},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rta.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guide\/3656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rta.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guide"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rta.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/guide"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rta.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/170"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/rta.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guide\/3656\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4052,"href":"https:\/\/rta.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guide\/3656\/revisions\/4052"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rta.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rta.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
