Laikipia County

The Laikipia Plateau defines much of Laikipia County – its open rangeland supports livestock keeping, ranching and conservation alongside farming in better-watered areas. South-east of the county, Mount Kenya rises above the plains, while the Ewaso Nyiro River is a vital watercourse for people, livestock and wildlife as it flows towards Kenya’s northern drylands. Nanyuki, on the foothills of Mount Kenya, is the county’s main urban centre and a practical base for the surrounding countryside. Protected areas including Lewa Wildlife Conservancy have made Laikipia important to Kenya’s rhino conservation. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Laikipia County.
