Getting around

Current trends
Laikipia Plateau continues to differentiate itself from Kenya's national parks through its privately managed conservancy model, which permits walking safaris, camel treks and night drives unavailable in vehicle-restricted parks; Segera's contemporary African art collection and Loisaba's escarpment-edge infinity pool reflect the region's growing reputation for pairing serious conservation work with design-forward, art-integrated luxury lodges.
