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.
