GUIDE ON SEGERA CONSERVANCY IN CENTRAL LAIKIPIA
Set within the heart of the Laikipia Plateau is the spectacularly diverse area of the Segera Conservancy, located between the western Great Rift Valley and southeastern Mount Kenya. Fertile grasslands and woodlands are nourished by the waters that flow from the Aberdare Mountains to the Segera, Mutara, Ewaso Nyiro and Suguroi Rivers. These waters create enchanting natural features, such as a beautiful waterfall along the Segera River that cascades into ivy springs, eventually feeding a lush valley around Kiseregai Creek.
The water sources are common drinking spots for warthogs, zebras, elephants, buffalos, giraffes and other wildlife. The 50,000-acre conservancy was once used mostly for agriculture and livestock that ultimately resulted in the degradation of the soil, flora and fauna. Poaching eventually led to dwindling numbers of wildlife and over-grazing had all but destroyed the soil, giving flora little chance to thrive.
In 2005, the land was bought by the Jochen Zeitz who took the necessary steps to restore the natural ecosystems. The mission of the conservancy is known as the “4C concept - Community, Commerce, Culture and Conservation”, part of southern Africa’s Wilderness Safaris model that embraces the diverse needs of people, animals, land and guides management practices to ensure the preservation of all four.
These values are also embraced by AfricanMecca in its safari offerings. Today the conservancy supports solar energy facilities, education centers and fresh water programs, as well as the Zeitz Foundation that was established in 2009 and the ultra-luxurious Segera Retreat that was opened in 2013.
