Located north of Nanyuki, Enasoit is a small private ranch surrounded by the Lolldaiga Hills. Karen and Pete Glover have managed the ranch and hosted Enasoit Camp for over twenty years, and from the moment you arrive, they and their small team make you feel at home.
Camp life revolves around the spacious mess tent, which overlooks a busy water hole and salt lick. There is a wooden deck for game viewing and drinks and a cosy dining and sitting area with a fireplace for cooler evenings. About 20 minutes away from the main camp, there is a pretty pool set in lush gardens where you can cool off in the heat of the day.
The 7 cottages are cleverly constructed from canvas, thatch and permanent local materials. Each bedroom has a fireplace, a private veranda and a comfortable seating area with sheepskin sofas for morning tea and game viewing. Bathrooms are en-suite with flush toilets and hot-pressure showers.
Because you have the camp to yourselves, the days are flexible. You can go on game drives (night and day ), walk with a guide, explore the neighbouring Loldaiga Conservancy, simply relax (there is an in-house Massuese), and enjoy the ample game in front of the camp.
About This Area
The Laikipia plateau is a large area of land that sits to the northwest of Mount Kenya. It comprises a varied tapestry of conservation areas and tribal rangelands, making up one of Kenya's largest and most important wildlife areas. A staggering one million acres of Laikipia are part of a conservation landscape. The land tenure, governance, and management of the different conservation areas are very diverse, but all are aligned by a collaborative vision to use conservation as a tool to enhance local livelihoods and keep wildlife populations as healthy as possible.
The rangelands of Laikipia are becoming well-recognised as one of the best places to go on safari. Typically, there are fewer crowds here, and there is the chance to do more hiking, exploring on foot, horse riding, bike riding, or night drives. Great strides have been made to keep the landscape connected, and wildlife can now roam freely between different conservancies, enabling them to migrate across huge ranges.
