Kicheche Laikipia is a small tented camp, located in the heart of the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, at the foothills of Mount Kenya. Accommodation is in six luxurious en suite tents with verandahs overlooking a waterhole.
The Conservancy is home to an incredible variety of African wildlife, including large numbers of elephant, cheetah, leopard, lion, wild dog, Grévy’s zebra and beisa oryx. Kenya’s largest population of black rhino can also be found here.
A full range of activities include day and night drives, walking safaris, mountain biking, canoeing and visits to the nearby chimpanzee rescue sanctuary. Night drives enable you to spot some of the resident nocturnal species, such as striped hyena, serval, bat-eared fox and civet. A portable satellite dish is used to locate lions collared for a lion tracking programme.
It is also possible to visit the nearby northern white rhino enclosure, to view the last three remaining animals of this species which were translocated to Ol Pejeta in 2009, and learn about the conservancy's plans to save this sub species.
