The Laikipia Plateau The Laikipia Plateau is a beautiful and remote wilderness area located just above the equator, about fi ve hours drive ( or a short fl ight) north of Nairobi. It is home to greater kudu, reticulated giraffe, impala, elephant, lion, leopard and numerous other antelope and birds. The major draw here is the total immersion in the African bush through walking or riding safaris, accompanied by naturalist guides and Laikipiak Masai. The intensity and solitude of the experience is something often missing from other parts of Kenya. Porini Rhino MID OUR CHOICE This camp is located in a secluded and remote corner of the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. The large airy rooms offer comfort and space and all have beautiful views of the rolling countryside and its wildlife. The Masai guides here are superb. Loisaba HIGH If you're looking for a varied and active stay, Loisaba offers a variety of activities including game drives, mountain biking, horse- riding, camel treks, rafting and a spa. Located on the edge of Laikipia, each of the attractive rooms has a deck offering magnifi cent views over the edge of the escarpment and ' star beds' for those who wish to sleep under the African sky; a lovely feature that we'd highly recommend. The Lodge at Sosian HIGH For the true wildlife enthusiast: This beautiful ranch and its associated lodge supports some 70 species of mammals and over 300 species of birds. It is home to a number of the rarer species including Jackson's hartebeest, Grevy's zebra and reticulated giraffe. Accommodation here consists of seven double cottages and a central ranch house. Kicheche HIGH Sister lodge to the Kicheche properties in the Mara, the lodge on the Ol Pejeta Conservancy is beautifully presented and in a lovely location. The guides here are excellent and they offer both game drives and guided walks with Masai guides, a more relaxed place to stay for a traditional safari experience. 64 SUGGESTED ITINERARY Day 1 Depart UK for Nairobi Day 2 Masai Mara, 3- nights, Porini Lion Camp.
