Walking Safaris
In the heart of Kenya, the Laikipia Plateau has all the ingredients for a top-class walking destination, with perfect temperatures for expeditions on foot. Shaped by volcanic forces, the terrain is varied, with plenty of rocky hills and wooded valleys, and water sources, fed from the moorland slopes of Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Range, giving Laikipia a wealth of wildlife. Walkers spot local specials such as the gerenuk, reticulated giraffe, Günther’s dik-dik, Grévy’s zebra, and squadrons of gorgeous vulturine guineafowl.
Laikipia Wilderness has started offering multi-day walks, thanks to gaining access to a greatly expanded safari area, which now totals 70,000 acres. The walks are guided by a qualified walking guide and local Samburu tracker. The type of guides who relishes getting on foot to track leopards or lions, but also knows how to mix in time to simply sit and enjoy being in nature.
Multi-day walking guests will spend their first and last night at camp, and the trail nights at a mobile camp, relocated each day by vehicle. The standard format has a minimum of three nights in the wilds, although with the area available, this can easily be extended.
