Also known as the Leroghi ranges, the forested Karisia Hills lie to the east of Maralal on Kenya’s Northern Frontier. This vast expanse of pristine wilderness features majestic forests of African cedar, prunus, olive trees and sandalwood extending all the way to the northern Rift Valley. Visitors can look forward to excellent walking and camel safaris led by local Samburu guides who possess an impressive depth of knowledge of the forests and the area’s exceptional array of wildlife. The region’s capital is a small hillside market town known as Maralal, where travellers can stock up on supplies and visit a wonderful wildlife sanctuary where game and Samburu cattle graze peacefully together.

Sandwiched between Mount Kenya and the northern deserts, Laikipia is where Kenya’s wild and semi-arid northern frontier country begins. The region is made up of privately owned and community ranches centred around the Laikipia National Reserve. Known as one of Kenya’s best safari areas, and renowned for its protection of rare animals, the high plains of Laikipia feature vast open stretches of African savanna scattered with abundant game including Grevy’s zebras, lions, leopards, black rhinos, wild dogs, buffalos, giraffes, lesser kudu, gerenuk, Beisa oryx, Jackson’s hartebeest, Somali ostrich, and thousands of elephants. Take a boat trip along the beautiful Ewaso Nyiro River, enjoy a guided walk, bird discovery tour, horse ride, and more. Laikipia is often seen as a strong competitor with Masai Mara Park. The breathtaking Great Lakes of Kenya are nearby.
