EL KARAMA, LAIKIPIA

A CONNOISSEUR OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE

If you’re a connoisseur of African wildlife, visit Laikipia; in the midst of an ecosystem with more diversity of flora and fauna than any other region of Kenya.

Big cats like leopards and cheetah stalk their prey across the rolling bushland. Prides of lion laze indolently in the shade of spreading trees. Rare African hunting dogs slink around the fringes of herds of antelope. Elephants amble across your line of vision. Giraffe and buffalo peer at you inquisitively whilst fat zebras graze contentedly in the middle distance.

Stay at El Karama – a working ranch set within the 40,000 sq km of the Ewaso ecosystem – on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Kenya and you’ll be in the middle of the country’s richest and most diverse game-viewing region. You’ll see all of the Big Five and many more. Rare specimens like Grevy’s zebra and the indigenous Laikipia hartebeest, monkeys, reptiles and over 370 different species of birds

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, PERFECTLY PLANNED”

Dear Claire, our trip was 100% amazing. We fell in love with Chile. I love how we were introduced to all of the different parts of the country. Our family was engaged in all of the fun from beginning to end. The lodges were just perfection. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I really appreciate all you did to make our trip a trip of a lifetime.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”

We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with 91��.
