Segera – Safari Retreat in Laikipia

Segera is a five-star safari retreat on a family-owned, 50,000-acre private conservancy in the foothills of Mount Kenya, on Rumuruti Road in Laikipia County. Once a classic Kenyan cattle ranch, it is now a big five sanctuary that brings together conservation, community, culture and art.

Ten independent thatched villas and houses sit behind a flowering cactus boma wall, with sunlit pools and tropical gardens alive with sunbirds. Artworks are found throughout the property.

Wildlife has bounced back under the retreat's re-wilding work. Twice-daily game drives look for lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, buffalo and Eastern black rhino, as well as rarer reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra and Lelwel's hartebeest, and up to 150 bird species. Segera has its own airstrip, Mukenya, for guests flying in.

Reservations are on 0714 488 579 or by email to the Segera team. Villas, experiences and wellness retreats are on the Segera website.
