Porini Rhino Camp
A low-impact eco-camp from Gamewatchers Safaris in a tranquil riverine setting on Ol Pejeta Conservancy, all-inclusive with day and night game drives — including access to Ol Pejeta’s photographic hide.
Mutara Camp
A classic tented camp on the neighbouring Mutara Conservancy, which borders Ol Pejeta — guests enjoy their own private wilderness plus easy access to Ol Pejeta’s wildlife and activities.
Tambarare Camp
A stylish, contemporary tented camp from A&K Sanctuary, set in Ol Pejeta Conservancy with wide plains views toward Mount Kenya.
Ol Pejeta Bush Camp
An intimate, solar-powered tented camp from Asilia Africa, set on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro river with rhino, elephant and Big Five sightings right from the tents.
Ol Pejeta Conservancy — The Stables & Pelican House
The Conservancy runs two places of its own — The Stables, simple full-board rooms with all the conservancy’s activities on the doorstep, and Pelican House, an exclusive-use cottage overlooking Pelican Dam that sleeps up to twelve. Staying here puts your money straight into Ol Pejeta’s conservation work.
The River Camp
An intimate luxury tented camp from The Wilder Group, on the banks of the Ngobit River deep inside Ol Pejeta with Mount Kenya on the horizon — six ensuite guest tents and two family suites for a maximum of twenty guests.
Sweetwaters Serena Camp
A well-known tented camp from Serena Hotels, overlooking a floodlit waterhole and framed by Mount Kenya — with a pool and spa for downtime between game drives.
Ol Pejeta Safari Cottages
Owner-run, self-catering cottages on Ol Pejeta — characterful, relaxed and great value, with the option of a cook to take care of meals.
Kicheche Laikipia
Beneath the watchful peaks of Mount Kenya, an intimate eco-camp with just six elegant canvas tents tucked into indigenous forest, pairing contemporary design with the untamed spirit of the highland bush.
Loisaba Lodo Springs
An Elewana Collection lodge perched on a ridge in Loisaba Conservancy, with panoramic views across Laikipia to Mount Kenya — glass-fronted suites, a striking infinity pool, and access to Loisaba’s full range of activities including camel treks and night game drives.
Loisaba Star Beds
An Elewana Collection experience on Loisaba Conservancy where guests sleep on a wheeled star-bed platform beneath the open sky, rolled out from a private thatched room each evening — with the same access to Loisaba’s game drives, camel treks, and night drives as its sister camps.
Loisaba Tented Camp
An Elewana Collection tented camp on Loisaba Conservancy, its spacious safari tents and twin infinity pools looking out over the plains toward Mount Kenya — a classic-safari counterpart to its more contemporary sister lodges, with the same access to game drives, camel treks, and night drives.
Segera Retreat
An independent 50,000-acre wildlife sanctuary in the heart of Laikipia, owned by Jochen and Kate Zeitz and built around a conservation, community, culture and commerce philosophy — ten luxury villas, ideal for groups or families wanting to stay together without sacrificing privacy.
Ol Lentille
An exclusive, community-owned retreat on the Laikipia Plateau within a private conservancy shared with the local Maasai community — four individually styled houses (Aloe, Acacia, Boscia and Carissa), a spa, and a rooftop bar looking out over the plains.
Laikipia Wilderness Camp
A family-run operation on the Ewaso Narok River in the Ol Donyo Lomboro Conservancy, run as four small camps rather than one: Main Camp (six tented rooms, four of them family tents), River Camp (five cottages), Palm Camp (six tents on stilts above the river) and Leopard Springs (four tents) — River Camp and Palm Camp go on a whole-camp basis only, with a four-adult minimum. Wild dogs are what sets it apart on this page: the guides follow the local pack by radio collar and find them on roughly a third of stays, and a melanistic leopard holds territory around Main and River Camp. Walking, river days and fly-camping expeditions count for as much here as the game drive.
Sosian Lodge
Sosian sits on a 24,000-acre wildlife ranch on the Laikipia Plateau, run as a working cattle operation alongside conservation and a small number of guests. The house dates from the 1940s, built by Italian artisans and since restored, with seven rooms and cottages sleeping up to fourteen, a pool and a tennis court. A stable of around thirty horses makes riding as central here as the game drives; walking with armed guides, night drives, fly camping, fishing and tubing on the river all run from the ranch.
Ekorian’s Mugie Camp
A small eco-camp in the Mugie Wildlife Conservancy in northern Laikipia, built from locally sourced materials on raised wooden decks. Six tents — two of them family tents with adjoining annex rooms, the other four doubles. Morning and evening game drives, guided walks, birding and cultural visits all run from camp, alongside the one activity nowhere else on this page offers: kayaking on the Mugie Dam among the elephants that come down to drink.
Siruai Mobile Camp
Siruai is a mobile camp, pitched on private ranch land in Laikipia and moved as the season and the country suit rather than fixed to one site. Seven canvas tents stand among indigenous trees, sleeping up to ten guests in all, with a mess tent at the centre and no fence around any of it. Days are spent driving, walking, swimming and kayaking, with Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe and wild dog among the animals here. It runs all year, and children of any age are welcome.
Moon’s Camp
Moon’s Camp is a family-run, under-canvas camp on the Lolldaiga Hills Conservancy, in the hills north of Nanyuki. Six tents sleep sixteen, two of them family tents for two adults and up to three children, each with an en-suite bush shower and a flushing loo. Game drives go out in vintage Series Land Rovers, alongside bush walks, fly camping and visits to neighbouring communities. Four of the Big Five are here, lion, elephant, leopard and buffalo, with cheetah and giraffe on the open ground. The owners host in person, and the camp sits on working conservancy land.
