I've travelled to Africa several time in my life and in many different countries. Laikipia plateau is one of the best place i've ever seen: Wildlife is very abundant there and there are lot of species you can spot only there. As most accommodation belongs to private ranches there are not overcrowded bush trips, you can feel like an explorer and experience the "real Safari", without the limitations you normally have in the national parks. The accommodations are usually luxury, and you have time to relax as well, surrounded by nature.

We stayed in the Mugie Conservancy of the Laikipia paleau, a magical place mainly because of the lack of tourists. We have stayed here for 10 nights, doing morning and afternoon safari's every day and had to share a sighting with at max 2 other vehicles. The chances of seeing lion and elephants are good, cheetah decent, leopard rare and rhino is not present in this area.
But I loved the feeling of being the only visitors in an area ruled by animals.
A slight negative thing about the Mugie Conservancy is the tar road splitting the conservancy. With influences the bush vibes slightly. Also there are lots of local farmers present which btw did not bother me at all. In fact, it's very interesting to see how the conservancy makes sure farmers and wildlife can co-exist in the same area.
The possibility to off-road in this area is also very nice and give greet opportunities. All in all a very nice place to visit!
