Laikipia wildlife at a glance

Laikipia harbors a wealth of wildlife species, including a wide are of bird species. Spotting Grevy’s zebras –the handsome, radar-eared, fine-striped species – is almost a certainty, as a quarter of Africa’s remaining population lives in Laikipia. You can find most of Kenya’s more common wildlife in Laikipia, too, as well as more than 2,000 elephants, which migrate between the slopes of Mount Kenya, the Laikipia safari conservancies and the Samburu region.

South Marmanet forest

The 4500 Ha of forest forms part of the migrating route popularly known as the elephant corridor. It is an area where Rumuruti and South Marmanet forests join. In large numbers, elephants use this route to look for food from different parts of the extensive forest land as well as to access the farm lands neighbouring the forest during the harvest seasons, which happens mostly during the period between October and November. The corridor is also important in accessing the elephant maternity where families accompany mothers to deliver their calves and watch over them for several days before proceeding. A fire tower in the middle of this forest is in place to monitor cases of fire in the forest and is the point where visitors enjoy the scenic view.

Hippo pools

Hippo pools along Ewaso Ngiro River ‘the river of brown waters’ as per the local community form part of the attractions in this region. Best times to see the hippos are during the early hours of morning or at dusk when the large beasts are freely grazing on the grass fields. However visitors are cautioned to be careful when approaching the hippo grazing areas as hippos are extremely dangerous especially during meal time and at night. It’s highly advisable to seek backup security from the KWS centre that’s adjacent to the hippo camps.

Lake Ol’ Bolossat

Lake Ol’ Bolossat is an internal drainage basin whose swamps have a high salt content due to high evaporation rates and the sediments. It is situated in the valley between the north-western slopes of Aberdare mountains and Dundori ridge. The water from the lake drains into the Ewaso Narok tributary, then connects to the legendary Ewaso Ngiro. It is host to lots of wild animals. In addition, 185 species of bird have been recorded here. It has been listed by Birdlife International as an important bird and biodiversity area. The most abundant species documented are the long-tailed widow-bird, red-capped lark and grassland pipit However, Lake Ol’ Bolossat is 7 km drive from the main road, though unpaved and would pose a challenge to non 4×4 cars during the wet season. The lake is currently not legally protected so access to the lake is free of charge.

Thomson’s falls

Thomson’s falls is a 74m scenic waterfall on the Ewaso Ng’iro river. It is situated two miles from the town of Nyahururu. In 1883 Joseph Thomson was the first European to reach Thomson Falls, and named it for his father. He was a Scottish geologist and naturalist who walked from Mombasa to Lake Victoria in the early 1880s. Visitors can view the falls from above, or there’s a trail down to the bottom of the ravine. Upstream from the falls is one of the highest hippo pools. Ewaso Narok river is a tributary of the Ewaso Ngiro river. The falls span a height of 72 meters. It is a major economic resource for Nyahururu. Most of the revenue is received from tourists.
