Enasoit Camp

Located north of Nanyuki, near the Lolldaiga Hills, Enasoit is a luxury tented camp in Kenya’s wildlife-rich Laikipia highlands. The camp is an enchanting exclusive property, catering for only one group of guests at a time and offering a uniquely private safari experience. Enasoit guests have the camp and surrounding wildlife reserve all to themselves – an ideal retreat for families and groups of friends.

An Enasoit safari offers remarkable wildlife encounters and an array of exciting ways to experience the wilderness. One of the most distinctive features of the camp is the extraordinary wildlife activity at the waterhole, located just in front of the main Mess Tent – the perfect viewpoint for wildlife viewing from the comfort of an armchair.

Guests can explore the reserve on horseback, on foot, or by vehicle, always accompanied by one of our experienced guides, or they can watch the wildlife wander past from their verandah - enjoying both the tranquillity and thrill of a safari without seeing any other visitors.

Wildlife at Enasoit Camp

One of the unique and outstanding features of Enasoit Camp is its proximity to wildlife. Wildlife highlights in the camp include the African Wild Dog, Reticulated Giraffe, Lion, Cheetah, Savannah Elephant, Grevy’s Zebra, Black Rhino, and gazelles. There are over 550 recorded bird species in Laikipia, including ten globally threatened species.
