LAIKIPIA: a vast plateau to the North West of snow-capped Mount Kenya It spans an area of over 9,500km², and forms part of the 40,000km² Ewaso ecosystems. Increasingly acknowledged as one of the most important areas for biodiversity in Kenya, Laikipia has stable wildlife numbers, in contrast to a declining trend throughout much of the country.

The Ewaso ecosystem is home to the second largest population of elephant in Kenya (6,000+) and Laikipia hosts the highest populations of endangered species, such as black rhino (half of Kenya’s total population), Grevy’s zebra (70% of the world’s population), reticulated giraffe, and the only viable population of Lelwel hartebeest in the country, as well as Africa’s only expanding population of wild dog. Laikipia’s biodiversity is globally unique, yet remarkably Laikipia is not a protected area, and Laikipia’s wildlife is entirely sustained by private and communal landowners.

MASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE: widely considered to be Africa’s greatest wildlife reserve. Masai Mara comprises 200 sq miles of open rolling plains, woodlands and riverine forests and is the northern side of the expansive Serengeti plains. The Reserve is home to a breathtaking array of life. The vast grasslands are scattered with herds of Wildebeests, Zebra, Giraffe, Gazelle and Topi.

KIWAYU ISLAND: located on the Kenya mainland in the most remote Dodori National Reserve some 30 miles north of Lamu Island, in a breathtakingly beautiful bay opposite Kiwayu Island.
