Attractions of Mugie Ranch.

The view is everything, beyond what words or even photographs can describe. It stays in your mind forever... sun-streaked savannah, wild animals and birds in abundance. Laikipia is second only to the Maasai Mara as a game viewing experience.

A herd of elephant has made this their territorial home and over 300 buffalo roam the plains. Other regulars are lion, leopard, Grevy zebra (classified as an endangered species but abundant in this area), dik dik, impala, waterbuck, eland, oryx, hartebeest and reticulated giraffe; some of the rarer sights are cheetah and wild dog.

For bird lovers 285 species have been recorded.

Below Mutamaiyu's hilltop verandahs, a waterhole provides a kaleidoscopic view of Kenya's wildlife. Day and night, the interaction of buffalo, elephant, zebra and warthog, lion and leopard present a mesmerising spectacle.

Mugie Ranch is part of the Laikipia Wildlife Forum, and participates in the Laikipia Predator Programme.

There is plenty of wildlife on the ranch and some congregate at the local waterhole.

With 285 recorded species of bird, Mugie is a bird watching paradise.
