Kenya’s most important private conservation landscape — a network of private conservancies and community ranches centred on the Laikipia Plateau below Mount Kenya. Home to more black rhino than anywhere in Kenya, the last two northern white rhinos on earth (at Ol Pejeta), and Africa’s highest density of cheetah. Night drives, horse riding, and walking safaris add an adventure dimension absent from national parks.
