Goshen Landscape

Aboutus

A legacy built on a single belief: the rarest experiences must remain unstaged.

Goshen • Laikipia

Our Belief

Goshen was built on one simple belief: true wildlife experiences must stay wild.

We do not stage animal sightings or crowd the savannah with vehicles. By keeping our camp small, we make sure the natural life of Laikipia continues completely undisturbed.

Goshen Conservation

Protecting nature isn't just an extra project for us—it is the whole reason we exist. We stay quiet and respectful to protect the land, giving you a responsible, front-row seat to the real African bush.

The Landscape

The Ewaso Ecosystem

Located right in the heart of the Laikipia plateau, Goshen is set naturally into the rocks and savannah. It is a beautiful, open landscape brought to life by the waters of the Ewaso River.

To keep this area as wild as possible, we keep things small and private. We strictly limit the number of guests and safari vehicles, giving you the greatest luxury of all: endless, open space. There are no crowded tourist routes here—just you, the vast horizon, and the sounds of the African bush.

The Inhabitants

The Elephant
Kingdom

Goshen sits right on paths that elephants have used for generations. You can sit back and watch these gentle giants walk by right from the comfort and privacy of your own tent.

The Elusive
Giza

When the sun goes down, a different side of the wild wakes up. This is when Giza, the rare black leopard, steps out of the shadows. Using our specially designed hides and expert tracking, you get a safe and incredibly rare chance to see her up close in her natural home.

Goshen Guides and Tracking

The Guides &
Team

The bush has its own language of animal footprints, changing winds, and distant alarm calls—something our team has understood since childhood. Led by Dalmas, an expert guide born right here in the area, our spotters do more than just find animals for you. They help you truly understand how the whole environment works together.

Whether they are heading out before the sun comes up to track a pack of wild dogs, or leading you on a safe walking safari, our guides make sure every moment is easy to learn from and completely respectful of the wildlife.
