Black Panther safari in Kenya

We have a superb local team in Nairobi who look after all our hotels, transfers and internal flight arrangements. We will be met at the airport and transferred the short distance to a charming mid-range airport hotel

Accommodation: Eka Hotel or similar on bed and breakfast basis

After breakfast we will be picked up from our hotel and driven approximately 40 minutes to the famous Wilson Airport. Extra luggage allowances will have been organised in advance (25kg per person) and we will take the short bush flight to Nanyuki. On arrival we will be met by staff from Laikipia wilderness camp and transferred approximately 3 hours to our private camp by the river.

We will enjoy our first late evening and night time safari today.

Accommodation: Laikipia wilderness camp

Of course most leopards are nocturnal in their behaviour and so for us to increase our chances of success, we need to be active when they are and that is the reason we will have many extended later afternoon and night time drives in Gizas territory to increase our chances. Expect most photography to take place in very low light conditions, or under torch light, when you will be shooting at high ISO levels.

This area is also well known for African wild dogs and a thriving leopard population, so ourselves and our local guides will be on the look out for Apex Predator action in the surrounding area.

Because Laikipia wilderness camp is such ‘hot’ property at the moment, we have booked the maximum number of night available, but we can easily add on extension to amazing Kenya national parks, such as Amboseli and the Masai Mara. Last year we organised a successful trip for two of our clients to Aberdares national park for the Black Serval.
