Laikipia Wilderness Camp area
Save

I have just read on a post under the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust on Facebook about current situations there. They posted the link: http://www.the-star.co.ke/news/2017/01/19/land-invasion-wrecks-laikipia_c1489820 which has some rather disturbing info.

I am scheduled to be there in the next few months. I'm wondering if I should rethink things.

I leave in two weeks for Kenya and will be in the Laikipia area. There has been a comment on the Safaritalk website about problems in this area, you might like to watch for follow up on that site. I know there is at least one Safaritalk member who would be very knowledgeable about events in Kenya.

I leave in about 2 weeks. I'm still waiting to hear from Gamewatchers. I'm surprised there are not many comments on this.

I have just had a very quick and reassuring response from Gamewatchers. We may be going to the same place Bobbi48128!

Cool! Maybe we'll cross paths. I arrive in Nairobi on feb 3. Yes. I also heard from them and was told not to worry. I'm going to start getting my rings together today!

I looked at Safaritalk and was unable to find what you mentioned. Is there a specific link to follow. I'll be in an area further north, Laikipia Wilderness Camp. Hoping all will be ok as I'm really looking forward to wild dogs. Saw them in Sweetwaters in 2014, but not since.

It is under 'General African Talk- Central Kenyan Ranchers'. There have not however, been any further comments.

I am sure you will see the dogs at LWC, they appear to be the highlight in most trip reports. This is a very brief trip for me, staying at Porini Rhino most of the time.

I will be at rhino camp on the 7th for three nights. I missed it on my last safari. It was such a beautiful area.

As I know there has been no trouble in that area of Laikipia. I've been to Laikipia Wilderness Camp myself and loved it. I'll undoubtedly be returning.

Worrying reports on Facebook, under Laikipia Land Invasions. My knowledge of Kenya is limited, but as a visiting tourist, I would feel more reassured if I knew the government was responding appropriately to restore law and order.
