Laikipia Wilderness Camp

Laikipia Wilderness Camp is a family-run safari camp set along the banks of the Ewaso Narok River in Kenya’s Laikipia region, a landscape defined by rugged hills, riverine forest, and vast open ranchlands. Unlike more polished safari destinations, this camp celebrates simplicity and authenticity. It feels less like a lodge and more like a lived-in wilderness home shaped by decades of guiding experience.

Tents are classic and unfussy, positioned close to the river where elephants, buffalo, and other wildlife frequently pass. The design embraces practicality and intimacy, favoring honest comfort over decorative luxury. Evenings gather around the fire with the sounds of the river and the low murmur of the bush, reinforcing the camp’s deep connection to its environment.

Laikipia Wilderness is known for its guiding philosophy. Activities extend beyond game drives to include walking safaris, camel treks, and immersive explorations of the landscape that encourage guests to understand the ecosystem rather than simply observe it. The camp’s character is grounded, personal, and shaped by a genuine love of the land, making it one of the most authentic safari experiences in East Africa.
