core study areas of the ‘Laikipia Predator Project’, a research study aimed at
improving the conservation of large carnivores throughout Africa.
Across
most of Africa, people have eradicated predators such as lions, wild dogs and
hyenas, largely because theses animals are a threat to livestock. With human
densities rising, even predators living inside national parks are threatened as
reserve border areas are developed and settled.
Laikipia
District is one of the few areas where people, livestock and predators coexist.
The Laikipia Predator Project is aimed at understanding how such coexistence is
possible. By studying the threat that predators pose to people’s livelihoods,
and the threat that human activities pose to predators, the aim is to identify
techniques & animal husbandry management practises that can be used to
reduce the drastic rate of decline in the numbers of these now endangered
animals.
On
Mugie the project focuses mainly on lions, which come into the most serious
conflict with livestock owners resulting in unlawful killing of them and other
predators.

Laikipia County Tourism
Laikipia is a vast expanse of wild county in the central highlands of Kenya - it covers almost 2 million acres and runs from Mt Kenya in the East to the Rift Valley in the west. Laikipia lies outside the jurisdiction of National Parks, and is somewhere to get out of a vehicle and embrace the numerous safari activities that Kenya has to offer.
Laikipia is today an interesting amalgam of land that's almost all either privately or communally owned, whether by large-scale ranchers, small subsistence farmers, Maasai or Samburu communities. From the perspective of the visitor, Laikipia is about freedom and a chance to experience the lifestyle of those who live here.
Ranging from the foothills of Mt Kenya towards the north and west, the vegetation varies from indigenous forest to rock, arid scrub and steep river valleys. This area sees relatively little rainfall but can be deceptively cold at night during certain times of the year. The Laikipia Wildlife Forum has been very active in promoting collaboration amongst it's members and so this area has become an important conservation body, with ranches involving themselves in eco-tourism and conservation projects both within their own land and alongside the local communities.

around Lake Turkana, a northern Rift Valley lake in Kenya, is a true
spectacle. Lake Turkana is the largest permanent desert lake in the world and
it is jam packed with large Nile crocodiles. The desert landscape is a
paleontologists dream come true, as early hominid remains continue to be

Loiyangalani and leads to the headquarters of Kenya's most remote national
park, Sibiloi, at Alia Bay. Though extremely windblown and arid, the Park
has a surprising variety of wildlife including Grevy's zebra, ostrich, gerenuk,
oryx and a unique sub-race of topi called the Tiang.
The park boundaries
extend a kilometer into the lake so encompassing many of Turkana's huge
population of Nile crocodile. Turkana's crocodile population, which numbers
around 12,000 is the largest single surviving community. Within the park is a
petrified forest, surviving to tell the tale that 7 million years ago this area
was lush and densely forested. A little further north is Koobi Fora, a sand
spit and the headquarters, since 1969, of a small fossil hunting group started
by Dr. Richard Leakey. There is a small museum here dedicated to the finds of
this team and especially to Bernard Ngeneo whose discovery of a fragment of a
fossilised skull led to '1470' (its laboratory catalogue number) being labeled
as belonging to the genus Homo a member of our direct
ancestors who lived and died close to the lake shore about two million years
ago. Koobi Fora is, of course, more easily reached by light aircraft, which can
land at a nearby strip.
The Lake has three
Island, the central being the breeding zone for the Nile Crocodile. Big game fishing is a spectacular sport on the lake
and nile perch have been landed exceeding 100 kilos. Sport fishing for the
ferocious tiger fish is also available and a quieter time can be had fishing
for tilapia, the best fish for eating in Kenya. Turkana is renowned for its
impressive variety of birdlife. Ferguson's Gulf is a wonderful place, in March and April, to
view the northward flight of European passage migrants. Resident water birds
are plentiful and many nest on Central Island. Flamingo can be seen in many
parts of the lake.

Lake Baringo Getaway
The Lake Baringo is at the threshold of Northern Kenya and is an oasis in the arid plains. This is an amazing getaway with friends especially at the Island Camp .It is located at the narrowest part of the Great Rift Valley and is surrounded by the Tugen Hills volcanic range (El Gaylo) on the west and the Laikipia Escarpment. The lake was around 50 square miles in area until the early 2000’s until the dramatic increase in water since 2011; so much so, it is now estimated to be over 100 sq. miles. The lake is now well stocked with fish (with restocking by Omega Farms Ltd.), and attracts many Cormorants and Fish Eagles as well as other water birds. The Lake is also well populated with Crocodiles and Hippos.
There are more activities to engage like:
BIRD WATCHING NATURE WALKS
Enjoy an easy walk around the resort grounds with an experienced bird watcher. About one and a half hours.

Longer boat excursions around the lake including “Giraffe Island” can also be arranged. The Island is on the Ruko Conservancy. Several years ago 8 giraffe were brought by ferry to the island which was then a peninsula with the plan that when the lake dried up more they would locate to the mainland. With the unexpected rise in water levels they are now isolated on the island with other wildlife including ostriches, impala, rock hyraxes and large monitor lizards.
We can arrange a morning nature walk around Giraffe Island with a conservancy ranger followed by a Champagne Breakfast.
EXCURSION TO LAKE BOGORIA TO WATCH FLAMINGOS
we can organize this with a picnic breakfast or lunch for your own excursion (usually around 4 hours).

Zanzibar June special offer
Zanzibar is the ultimate Indian Ocean experience with its brilliant white beaches lapped by the warm turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean provide the perfect place to relax, soak up the sun and take a break. There are more than 25 fantastic beaches in Zanzibar, and some are so peaceful and remote that the only noise breaking the silence is likely to be the ocean.
At the northern tip of the island is Nungwi, approached by a road lined by banana palms, mangroves and coconut trees. This is the dhow building capital of Zanzibar island, so it is a good place to see traditional craftsmen at work.
On the west coast of Zanzibar, Mangapwani beach is worth a visit, and to the east are the beaches of Matemwe, Pwani Mchangani, Kiwengwa, Uroa, Bwejuu and Jambiani, all with stretches of beautiful white sands.
Zanzibar also boasts several small offshore islands which are ideal for a day-trip. Prison (or Changu) island is the most popular with tourists because it is only a short trip from Stone Town. Originally, it was used by Arabs to detain recalcitrant slaves, and then a jail was built by the British, but it was never actually used.
