About The Safari Series

The Safari Series does simplicity extremely well. Tucked away from other safari-goers, the camp sits in 50,000 acres of private land in the Lolldaiga Hills. Home is one of the Meru-style canvas tents, from which sprawling views reach from the waterhole all the way to snow-capped Mount Kenya. Your hosts are Ed and Moon, the cheerful owners and safari-aficionados who created the camp to evoke passion, adventure, and a long-lasting love for Kenya. They're always on hand to make your trip memorable, sharing stories from their lives in the bush and their favourite things to do. And when you've made your choice, embark with word-class guides to spot Laikipia's remarkable wildlife.

Camp

6 Tents

Laikipia, Kenya

What you'll love

Two words: fly camping! Sleeping under the stars with barely a barrier between you and wild...

Insiders tip

For something extra special, take the wheel yourself on a game drive! But don't worry, you'll get full Land Rover training beforehand and a guide will travel with you.

Something to think about

The camp has a huge focus on the environment, so why not join in with tree-planting and seedball-throwing?

The property

The camp's hub is a bright mess tent, decorated in bold mustard chairs and quirky place settings. Meals are cooked in the charcoal stove, and you'll enjoy everything from homemade loaves at dawn to lemon drizzle cake for afternoon tea. Furnished with cosy rugs and mismatched couches, the lounge area isn't a bad spot to dig into a new read in between safari-ing. When you've had enough exploring, sip sundowners at a secret location in the hills, or swap stories over a nightcap by the fire.

The rooms

In true safari style, the six canvas tents are uncluttered and easygoing. There is a large, wrought-iron bed, storage trunks and a hot water bottle should you feel chilly. The open-air bathroom has a flushing loo, wooden sink and a shower with a serious view. The tents are all solar-powered in keeping with the camp's impressive eco-friendly ethos (Wi-Fi is available on request), and furnished with items made by local businesses. The veranda is the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee as the landscape brightens.

Activities

Located in a private conservancy, The Safari Series offers everything from classic game drives to kayaking and bush walks, where you'll have to chance to search for the 'Small Five.' Speaking of which, the guides are world-class trackers who know just how to find a pride of snoozing lion and the rest of the Big Five (although there are no rhino, sadly). You'll also have the chance to meet members of the Maasai community, or hike into the area's ancient caves to see some of the country's oldest rock art.

Show all wildlife

The greatest conservation success of the region remains with the black rhino, almost half of Kenya's entire population can be found in this area. Laikipia is a real up-and-comer on the African safari circuit, with an impressive diversity of unique species, not to mention home to the famous Big 5. Encounter elephants, big cats (often collared for research purposes), buffalo, Grevy's zebra, numerous antelope and more recently, an increasing wild dog population. Laikipia consist of a mix of high altitude grassland, dotted with rocky outcrops, low lying bush and patches of riverine forest.
