Enasoit is one of Kenya’s most luxurious private safari destinations, owned by a Norwegian family who fell in love with Kenya many years ago. Here, you wake up to spectacular views of the plains and the camp’s waterhole, situated right next to the dining room and fireplace, where elephants, giraffes, zebras, and Grant’s gazelles come to quench their thirst. Beautifully decorated accommodations are paired with exceptional wildlife viewing and a variety of adventurous activities such as horseback riding, cycling, and guided bush walks through the stunning landscape.
This program is a source of inspiration — each trip is unique and tailored to you.
This is a truly exclusive adventure! No other guests, no other vehicles. Just you, your group, and the wild heart of Laikipia, entirely to yourselves. From sunrise horseback safaris to siestas by the pool and fireside dinners under the stars, every moment is steeped in magic.
This is a fantastic destination to experience together with your family. Children staying at Enasoit Camp can join the Junior Warrior program to learn essential bush survival skills. At the end of their stay, they receive a handcrafted beaded warrior club made by the local community and a certificate to bring home.
Activities include:
Experience the wilderness on horseback , an unforgettable adventure. The horses are accustomed to wildlife, allowing riders to get close views of game in their natural habitat. The area is renowned for attracting a wide variety of wildlife, including elephants, buffalo, and various predators. The riding experience is generally best suited for intermediate to advanced riders who are confident at all paces and maintain a reasonable fitness level. Children are welcome but must be confident, experienced riders.
Discover the surroundings on a mountain bike accompanied by your guide. The camp sits at an altitude of nearly 2,000 meters (6,500 ft), so cycling can be physically demanding, yet it is an incredibly rewarding experience.
Enjoy a refreshing swim in the pool and a rejuvenating massage treatment.
Dining at Enasoit is enjoyed in scenic settings: breakfast served on your private veranda, lunch at the Pool House with mountain views, or as a picnic out in the bush. Dinner can be shared around the dining table in the mess tent, as a candlelit meal under the stars, or as a traditional bush dinner. The kitchen emphasizes farm-to-table cuisine, utilizing fresh produce harvested from the camp’s own organic vegetable and herb garden.
Enasoit features only 8 rooms – 6 luxury tented cottages and one family tent with two interconnecting rooms. All rooms face the waterhole and come with en-suite bathrooms, a sitting area with an open fireplace, and a private veranda.
Enjoy this magical place!

Good to know about the Laikipia Highlands: Enasoit is located in the Laikipia Highlands of Kenya – a rich and diverse natural treasure home to some of Kenya’s most extraordinary and endangered wildlife and vast, pristine wilderness areas.
The camp and the surrounding conservancy are situated within a natural wildlife corridor, and the animal density and biodiversity are exceptional. Guests can explore the conservancy on horseback, on foot, or by vehicle, always accompanied by experienced guides, or simply watch the wildlife stroll past from your veranda – enjoying both the tranquility and thrill of a safari without seeing any other visitors.

All proceeds from Enasoit Camp go directly to supporting the management, protection, and preservation of the Enasoit conservancy’s unique ecosystem. Conservation is at the heart of everything they do, and by choosing to stay here, you contribute directly to these conservation efforts. In addition, Enasoit Camp is powered entirely by solar energy, ensuring that its environmental footprint remains exceptionally low.
Enasoit is situated in Kenya’s wildlife-rich Laikipia Highlands and is part of a larger conservation success story that depends on close cooperation among local communities and stakeholders.
Laikipia boasts remarkable biodiversity. There are over 550 recorded bird species in Laikipia, including 10 globally endangered species. Researchers believe there is no place on Earth with a higher density of large mammal species (over 3 kg / 6.6 lbs), including 7 internationally endangered species: the African wild dog, reticulated giraffe, lion, cheetah, savanna elephant, Grevy’s zebra, and black rhino.
Enasoit serves as a crucial wildlife corridor within the Laikipia ecosystem, vital for the free and secure movement of these iconic species. Enasoit rangers work tirelessly every day to protect the conservancy’s habitat and wildlife. Several special initiatives are also underway, including an indigenous tree project that establishes “exclusion zones” and plants saplings to shield vulnerable plant and tree species from elephant damage and climate impact, alongside an environmental scholarship program providing secondary education and mentorship to local children with a passion for conservation.
