Kenya's equatorial location ensures warm weather year round, though it can be cool at night and first thing in the morning. There are two rain seasons, the long rains occur from April to June and short rains from October to December. The rainfall is sometimes heavy and when it does come it often falls in the afternoons and evenings. The hottest period is from February to March and coldest in July to August.

    The Laikipia Plateau is located along the eastern escarpment of the Rift Valley and is divided into a patchwork of enormous ranches. Over the years with cooperation from their owners, these farms have been transformed into game reserves and now contain more endangered species than anywhere else in East Africa. The Laikipia Plateau has considerable animal populations and is one of the last refuges of the endangered black rhino and has the largest elephant population outside of Kenya's national parks and reserves.

    Abercrombie & Kent brings you the selection of the very best luxury Laikipia lodges. Staying on the Laikipia Plateau is a great way to experience Kenya with A&K.
