living in laikipia

From Mt Kenya’s 17,000′ peaks to the Samburu desert’s palm fringed river, this is one of Africa’s most varied and well conserved regions. Within a 50 mile radius from the central town of Nanyuki, you will have access to some twenty national parks, wildlife reserves and conservancies. Here too are some of Kenya’s most successful horticultural and flower farms. And scattered across the ever-present mountain’s northern flank are a wide variety of self-build homes, smallholdings and tourist lodges belonging to an eclectic international community. In addition to its stunning natural beauty, the highlands of East Africa offer some of the most amenable weather on earth. Nanyuki is 200 km from Nairobi, either a 3 hour drive or a half hour flight to the nearby airstrip.
