Hotels in Laikipia, Kenya

Laikipia, in central Kenya, is a highland plateau famous for its private wildlife conservancies like Ol Pejeta and Lewa, home to the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa. The climate is mild year-round, with temperatures averaging 70-80°F (21-27°C), so the dry season from June to October offers prime game drives and rhino tracking along the Ewaso Nyiro River, while the rainy seasons (March-May and November-December) bring lush landscapes perfect for guided camel safaris and visiting Samburu communities. During the dry months, you can also book night drives to spot nocturnal animals, or take walking safaris to learn about conservation efforts.
