The Laikipia Ecosystem spans over 2 million acres of unblemished wilderness in the North of Kenya. It is made up an icy mountainous, arid dry land, savannah and forest. Through its varied environment roams an incredibly diverse array of wildlife which visitors can see in countless ways -  on foot,  on horse back,  on camel or by  bicycle; by land rover, by aeroplane or  by helicopter,  or even hanging below the silken wing of a paraglider.
