"A luxuriously wild Laikipia property recommended for family safaris that blend upscale comfort with authentic wildlife and cultural encounters, positioned as an immersive base for Kenyan conservation-focused experiences." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"An artfully designed compound on the Laikipia Plateau where the family felt fully immersed in the safari experience; a demonstration with the camp’s anti-poaching trackers and hounds provided a deeper understanding of local wildlife conservation efforts." - Emily Baldwin
"At Segera Retreat in Laikipia, among the eco-conscious villas, Dr. Leela Hazzah and Dr. Winnie Kiiru introduced me to tourism that supports the preservation of its surrounding 50,000-acre reserve; I met them there during a workshop." - Venetia Martin
"Round out the trip with a stay at Segera Retreat on the Laikipia Plateau between the Great Rift Valley and Mount Kenya." - Leora Rothschild
"A safari lodge in central Kenya that has hosted poetry-led, wellness-focused journeys combining guided game viewing with meditative practice. Trips there have been anchored in the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—and led by poet David Whyte alongside intuitive wellness specialists who use sound, breath, touch, and energy to deepen presence. Days follow natural rhythms—rising with the sun and resting with the stars—and offer striking wildlife moments, from a male lion pausing on the grounds and giraffes near the property to a pack of wild dogs leaping across a dry riverbed and elephants sauntering past the lodge. Guests report a profound, restorative effect: heightened senses, a reset of internal rhythm, and a lasting sense of spiritual and personal renewal. The location will host a poetry-and-safari retreat with David Whyte June 12–17, 2024." - Deborah Calmeyer Deborah Calmeyer New York City and Cape Town-based Deborah Calmeyer is the founder and CEO of the ultra-luxe experiential travel company Roar Africa.
