Laikipia is an unpopular, but equally beautiful African resort located in the Great Rift Valley, surrounded by fantastic landscapes.
Near this place is the snow-capped peak of Kenya, which gave the name to the whole republic, as well as the famous "river of brown water" Ewaso-Ngiro.
Countless ranches were once located in these places. Today they have been transformed into private and state wildlife sanctuaries that can easily compete with the famous Kenyan park Masai Mara in the abundance of flora and fauna.
The pristine nature, colorful culture of local tribes (Masai, Mukogodo, Kikui, Meru, Samburu), as well as unusual landscapes - all this attracts a lot of travelers from all over the world. However, not everyone can afford such a vacation. That is why here you will not find crowds of tourists scurrying back and forth, queues and other disadvantages of popular resorts.
