Kenya - Laikipia, our home

Conserving the Flora and Fauna

Rift Valley Adventures supports the Laikipia Wildlife Forums objectives through our five operational programme areas:

Community Conservation,
Wildlife Conservation,
Training Initiatives,
Experiential Education,
Cultural Interaction.

Laikipia is the one district in Kenya that continues to record increasing or stable wildlife populations, in contrast to the declining trend throughout the country. Wildlife population densities in the Laikipia region now rank second to the internationally renowned Maasai Mara ecosystem in Kenya.

The Ewaso eco-system is home to the second largest population of elephant in Kenya (5,400) and hosts the highest populations of endangered species such as rhino (over half Kenya’s total population), Grevy’s zebra, and reticulated giraffe in the country, as well as the only viable population of Jackson’s hartebeest and an expanding population of wild dog.

Rift Valley Adventures supports the ideals of the Laikipia Wildlife Forum (LWF) and is proud to be an LWF Corporate member, whilst providing valuable needed income for the indigenous tribes within the Laikipia region.
