Laikipia is world-renowned for its black leopard sightings, one of the rarest and most captivating experiences in the animal kingdom. These melanistic cats, have made Laikipia their home, and this trip offers a unique opportunity to photograph them. A particular female black leopard, born and raised  by her mother just 100 meters from the camp, is regularly sighted and remarkably relaxed around vehicles.
