Nairobi - Laikipia/Nanyuki
Fly north and begin with a conservancy activity.
45 minutes flight from Nairobi Wilson Airport
This morning, fly from Nairobi to the Laikipia/Nanyuki area in Northern Kenya, where the Laikipia Plateau's extraordinary private conservancies and community wildlife areas await. The flight north from Wilson Airport gives aerial views of the Great Rift Valley, Mount Kenya, and the spectacular landscape transition from the central highlands to the northern semi-arid zone. Land at Nanyuki or a private conservancy airstrip and begin your highland wilderness experience.
Afternoon game drive or walking safari in the conservancy after arrival. Laikipia is Kenya's most innovative wildlife area, where former cattle ranches have been converted to wildlife and community conservancies hosting black and white rhino, African wild dog, reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, and more lions per square kilometre than any other Kenyan wildlife area. The conservancy approach gives you the run of vast wilderness with no roads, no boundaries, and no other vehicles.
Your first conservancy evening as the Northern Kenya sky blazes with stars far from any light pollution. The evening sounds of the Laikipia wilderness, lion roars carrying across the plateau, are unforgettable.
