Your Bespoke Laikipia Safari Itinerary & Wildlife Encounters

A private safari with Mtalii Bush Camps is an experience tailored entirely to you. Your day isn't dictated by a group schedule; it's shaped by your interests and the rhythm of the wild. Our seasoned safari guides, experts in the local ecology of the Laikipia region, will work with you to create the perfect itinerary. Spend a full day tracking the last northern white rhinos at the world-renowned Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a conservation success story just a short drive from our Nanyuki camp. Or, venture to the equally prestigious Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in search of the Big Five. For a different kind of adventure, we can arrange a trip to the magical Ngare Ndare Forest, where you can walk along a treetop canopy bridge and swim in pristine blue pools. Every game drive is a private affair, ensuring you have the best photographic opportunities and an intimate connection with nature. This is the essence of safari travel—personal, profound, and perfectly paced.

Your adventure doesn't end when the game drive is over. At Mtalii Bush Camps, your accommodation is an integral part of the experience. Our camp features three distinct tented villages—Nelion, Lenana, and Batian—named after the iconic peaks of Mount Kenya. Each spacious luxury tent is a private haven, blending rustic elegance with modern comfort. After a thrilling day, unwind in your exclusive outdoor soaking tub with a view, listening to the sounds of the African bush. The camp itself is a destination. Rejuvenate your body and soul with a treatment at the Casadra Spa, maintain your fitness routine at our unique eco-gym, or simply relax with a book by the central lounge. As evening descends, gather for fireside dining under a blanket of stars at our signature Mwamba Restaurant, where our chefs prepare exquisite farm-to-table cuisine. For those wishing to explore Nanyuki town's culinary scene, we can also recommend local favorites like the famous Cowboys Steakhouse.
