GUIDE ON MUGIE CONSERVANCY IN NORTHERN LAIKIPIA
In the distant shadow of Mount Kenya lies the 46,000-acre Mugie Wildlife Conservancy that sits at the north-western edge of the Laikipia. The 6,000-foot elevation provides AfricanMecca guests with vast scenery and temperate climate to enjoy all that the Kenyan wilderness offers. Approximately 70 mammals roam the 22,000 acres that have been set aside for its wildlife sanctuary, including elands, buffalos, elephants, hyenas, cheetahs, lions and other plains animals.
Successful conservation efforts make Mugie Conservancy an admirable location to see jackson’s hartebeests and grevy’s zebras. Part of the sanctuary’s design is a dam that works to maintain a 156-acre lake that attracts many species, especially during droughts, and 280 migratory and resident bird species. The most recent additions to the lake are tilapia and bass, which further advances sustainable tourism practices.
Mugie Conservancy is also recognized for hosting the core study area of the Laikipia Predator Project that strives to protect Africa’s largest and most majestic predatory hunters. The project is intended to protect species that have been eliminated in other parts of Africa due threats to livestock, and the study includes lions, African wild dogs, hyenas and other carnivores.
Even in protected areas, such as game reserves and national parks, these incredible animals do not have safe havens as human development exists just outside the boundaries. Mugie is a highlight of the project because the model has proven that predators, humans and livestock can co-exist with proper management. With prior notice and limited availability, safari guests of Mugie can join researchers in their efforts to track lions, the primary animal under study at the conservancy.
