Ol Gaboli Lodge | 3 Nights

In Search of Giza, Laikipia's Black Leopard

In the remote Laikipia landscape, the safari takes an intriguing turn. At Ol Gaboli Lodge, your mission is to search for Giza, a wild melanistic leopard whose almost-black coat has made her one of Africa's most extraordinary individual big cats. Giza is entirely wild and sightings can never be guaranteed which makes the search itself part of the experience. For serious wildlife enthusiasts, longer stays provide a better opportunity to spend time in her range.

But Giza is only part of the story. Ol Gaboli is located beside the Ewaso Nyiro River and is proudly operated by the Ol Gaboli Women's Group, making it a particularly compelling community-led experience. Between wildlife outings, walk the landscape with local guides, meet neighbouring Maasai families and discover how communities are building livelihoods around conservation. This is Laikipia at its most personal: wild country, extraordinary predators and a community whose relationship with the land is central to the experience.
