Laikipia’s been enjoying some much needed rain lately, turning the landscape into a lush green wilderness.

・・・
Rain, rain at last….

Over the past couple of weeks Borana has been receiving rainfall almost on a daily basis. The thirsty ground is soaking up all the moisture and turning the landscape into a lush green pasture.

One of the most beautiful and tranquil bush lunch setups we’ve seen. Nothing beats al fresco dining in the African wilderness.

Drizzled in dappled sunlight from the shade of the Newtonia tree, surrounded by the smell of roses and chorus of bird song, the courtyard is the perfect spot for a delicious breakfast!

LAIKIPIA - the elusive Striped Hyena. What a lovely sighting! The Striped Hyena is considered “Near Threatened” globally.

・・・
Fantastic photograph by .marc “Striped Hyena w/DikDik kill” Just to see a Striped Hyena is a special occasion let alone to see one with a kill is quite rare indeed! We believe this female was taking her prize back to her pups @ the den. Apart from seeing Giza in all her splendor this was another highlight of my 9 nights here.👍 Can’t wait to get back again in March.

The Laikipia Plateau sprawls on the edge of Kenya’s Northern Frontier, stretching from the rim of the Great Rift Valley to Mount Kenya’s slopes. Over time in this natural haven, comprising ranches and conservancies, conservationists have made an effort to create a place where communities and wildlife can exist hand in hand in order to maintain and protect the region’s wonderful biodiversity.

The architect designed Arijiju to take in the ‘holy trinity’ of views. The bedrooms absorb the sunrise, the roof top admires the sunset and the pool slices out into the wilderness with Mount Kenya in perfect view.

Every corner of Segera's spaces are designed to capture the untamed beauty of the wild. Each of our villas are filled with window light and have private terraces that deliver intimate sightings of wildlife from our busy waterholes, and sweeping views of the open plains beyond.⁠

Changing Leaves at Sarara Camp 🍂🍃

Inspired by the landscape's incredible transformation after the rains, we felt it is time for Sarara Camp to transition into a new season too.

Just like the fresh shoots of grass and nectar of the wildflowers are attracting wildlife from near and far, we trust that the refurbishment will be a warm and inviting welcome (or welcome back) to Sarara for you as well.

Here’s a last look at Sarara Camp over the years.

The African wild dog is known by many names, including Cape hunting dog or painted dog. Its scientific name, Lycaon pictus, means “painted wolf,” referring to the animal's irregular, mottled coat. ⁠

We are incredibly lucky to be located where the action is - a waterhole fed by a natural spring and the perfect place for armchair game-viewing, Sirikoi style.

Every morning at 6am sharp, a new shift of wildlife rangers reports to the Operations Base for their parade. A ceremony demonstrating their cohesion and unity.

As Samburu, these rangers are part of an indigenous community who have been living alongside, and sharing resources with wildlife for generations. They are uniquely positioned to protect some of the largest remaining populations of elephant, reticulated giraffe, and the endangered Grévy's Zebra.

Namunyak Community Conservancy is their home, and they are proud landowners as well. By taking a community-led approach to conservation, we hope to ensure that the Grévy's Zebra and other wildlife species are protected for generations to come.

#Repost @camwhitnall ・・・ This is a rhino memorial 🦏🪦🌹 During my stay at @kicheche_safari_camps, I visited the Rhino Memorial at @olpejeta in Kenya where I discovered the heartbreaking stories of rhinos lost to poaching. Sixteen gravestones under one tree mark the lives taken by this cruel illegal trade. Yet, amidst the sadness, it’s a call to action to protect these magnificent creatures. 🙏🦏 Ethical eco-tourism is a driving force for the conservation of Rhinos and Ol Pejeta, Kicheche, Cottars, and Borana are a few leading the way. 🌍 __________________________________________ #olpejeta #olpejetaconservancy #rhinos #rhinoconservation #rhino #wildlife #safari #kenya #kicheche #wildaboutkicheche #conservation #poaching

We’re thrilled to have worked with @camwhitnall on his safari to Kenya and can’t wait to show you what he gets up to! Stay tuned to learn more about some fantastic places to stay, and the wonderful conservation and community work that goes on here in Kenya. #Repost @camwhitnall ・・・ 😍 Elephants… watch to the end and read the caption 🐘👇 Extinction at the snap of a finger? It’s a harsh reality we face. 🌍💔 Thanks to the Sheldrick Trust and others who do Incredible work to protect and conserve elephants and rhinos so that the individuals, and the species as a whole, can get a second chance. Let’s make every click count towards preserving our natural world for generations to come!🫰 What a great first morning in Kenya.
