Laikipia Wilderness: picture gallery


Laikipia Wilderness is Kenya's best location for wild dogs.
It also has high population of leopards…
…thriving on the area's ubiquitous dik-diks,
…including a number of black leopards.
The camp has six spacious tents...
...with really comfortable beds...
 …with bedside tables, lamps and storage shelves.
Each is simply and practically furnished...
...and great views over the surrounding bush.
At the back of the tents are large, open-air bathrooms...
…
...with hot showers.
Some of the tents have a family wing, with twin beds.
The infrastructure keeps it all very natural...
...and the whole camp has a very relaxed feel.
At the front, each has a private veranda.
The main focus of the camp is a large lounge...
…and dining area...
…with a deck in front…
where tea and coffee are served in the mornings and afternoons.
 …
The camp offers particularly good food, either out in the bush, like this brunch…
…or in camp, like this late breakfast.
Activities at Laikipia Wilderness are highly varied and include game drives...
…
...game walks…
…and sundowners.
Morning game drives often finish by the dam…
…for brunch…
… with elephant entertainment often laid on.
The camp also offers the chance to track wild dogs...
… which requires skill and patience - they are not always easy to find.
