Situated in the beautiful Ol Pejeta conservancy, nestled in the shadows of Mount Kenya and surrounded by indigenous forest, Kicheche Laikipia overlooks a beautiful waterhole which attracts an enormous amount of game throughout the year.
The Ol Pejeta conservancy is a vast tract of land, 90,000 acres of pristine wilderness which offers a very uncrowded environment for guests to enjoy some superb game viewing. The conservancy is proud to be home to one of Kenya’s largest populations of black rhino. In addition, elephant, cheetah, leopard and lion are often seen, along with plentiful plains game. For those safari aficionados seeking the rarer species, Grevy’s Zebra is often seen, along with Jackson’s Hartebeest and Beisa Oryx. Overlooking the whole conservancy is the towering Mount Kenya.
Activities at Kicheche Laikipia include walking safaris with your expert guide and scout, day and night game drives in open 4x4 vehicles to include lion tracking, canoeing and visits to the Wildlife Educational Center and Chimpanzee center.
In the center of camp is an airy, spacious living area with a lounge and dining tent. Roaring fires are lit for those cool evenings and it’s a lovely place to meet and share a drink before dinner. Meals are either taken in the dining tent or if the weather is clement, the tables are taken outside and guests dine underneath the vast African sky. A bit of stargazing at dinner is commonplace!
