The 50 000 acreage domain is located in the heart of a conservancy area, which supports the a highest density of wildlife in Kenya and is an area where wildlife populations and habitat are on the increase. Sustained by private and communal landowners, the wildlife in Laikipia is diverse and includes endangered species: lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, black rhino, grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, patas monkey, lelwel’s hartebeest, oryx, eland, impala, Thomson’s and Grant’s gazelles and bushbuck.

Segera Retreat, which provides a permanent home to many endangered species, contributes to maintain and improve the integrity of the ecosystem and is part of a number of cutting edge research programmes to increase the global knowledge base for conservation activities. A conservation agriculture field training site for communities has been established in the next areas, to stem harmful and wasteful use of water, to promoting alternative and renewable lighting, cooking energy technologies, rainwater harvesting and reforestation.
