Luxury Safari Adventures in Kenya’s Untamed Laikipia: Exclusive Wildlife, Conservation, and Unforgettable Experiences
The Laikipia Plateau
“A luxury safari in Kenya’s Laikipia region unveils an intimate and exclusive wilderness—far from the crowds and etched with dramatic escarpments, rolling savannas, and wild rivers threading the highlands. Here, you wake in elegant lodges and plush tents beneath endless stars, sip morning coffee as Grevy’s zebras graze nearby, and set out with expert guides to spot endangered black rhinos, reticulated giraffes, and elusive wild dogs. Days are filled with horseback rides across open plains, organic farm-to-table lunches under acacia shade, and thrilling night drives that reveal Laikipia’s nocturnal treasures.
The region’s private conservancies champion conservation and community partnerships, so every encounter—from cultural visits with Samburu herders to tracking wildlife with rangers—feels deeply authentic and impactful. Laikipia offers an unrivaled blend of adventure, privacy, and soul-stirring landscapes, making it one of Kenya’s premier destinations for luxury safari travel, exclusive game viewing, and sustainable experiences.”

Glamorous Solio Lodge boasts swoon-worthy glass suites and some of Africa’s best rhino viewing, while Borana Lodge offers a frontier-chic haven, steeped in rewilding spirit and community. For those craving exclusivity fit for royalty, there’s Ol Jogi—a palatial private estate with sprawling gardens and its own wildlife conservancy, or Arijiju, an architectural marvel sculpted into the hillside, where interiors blend Swahili craft with contemporary style for next-level private gatherings. And now, explorers have a fresh chapter to discover at &Beyond Suyian Lodge, the brand’s new sanctuary of barefoot luxury, immersive conservation, and endless Laikipia skies. Together, these lodges transform safari into an experience that’s deeply personal, wellness-infused, and utterly one-of-a-kind.
