El Karama, Laikipia Kenya.

We have known El Karama Lodge in Laikipia, Kenya for many years now. Murrey and Sophie Grant the owners are immersed in wildlife and nature and their honest love and fascination of the area and Africa as a whole becomes evident moments after meeting them. Laikipia is fast becoming a must-do destination, especially for families and those who seek out something different. The area has been a firm favourite for many years. Its a place where one can get to know the people who made this wildlife haven their home well away from the crowds and now shares it with a select few.

El-Karama is an intimate, owner-operated, award-winning lodge specialising in family safaris and small groups looking for adventure in the wild!   Located in the heart of Kenya's most unique and pristine wildlife area: Laikipia, this lodge is found inside a 14,000 acre private conservancy with access to over 200,000 acres of Northern Kenya wilderness. The wildlife experience here is world–class, offering abundant sightings of the Big 4 and day visits to see iconic Rhino. 

Wildlife is superb. 
The habitat supports 430 verified bird species and Northern Kenyan species such as Grevy's Zebra, Gerenuk and Vulturine Guinea Fowl. With outstanding views of natural beauty; guests can wake up to the peaks of Mount Kenya and fall asleep to the sounds of the mighty Ewaso Nyiro river.  It's all about freedom and privacy here: whether you like to walk, fly camp under the stars, game drive, track on foot with guides, fish, visit the working farm and organic garden or learn more about wildlife conservation and education in action with the rangers, the El Karama Lodge team will make it all possible.

The lodge also sports Kenya's first Bush School for children, which is focussed on educating and 'rewilding' children during their safari with us. We are a truly family-friendly lodge and your precious little ones will be kept very busy learning about the bush with our wonderful guides and resident naturalists.
