It is one of Kenya's lesser known wildlife areas and is covered by large privately owned ranches.

The real attraction of Laikipia is a wonderful sense of freedom, remoteness, solitude and exclusivity. Not just the freedom of wide open spaces, but freedom of choice. Staying on a private ranch gives a wide range of options for both activities and relaxation. Game viewing tends to be more intimate and adventurous.

The Laikipia Plateau has considerable animal populations and is one of the last refuges of the endangered Black Rhino and has become a sanctuary for Elephant, Lion, Leopard, and Buffalo.
