Ol Pejeta, Kenya

Exploring where Conservation meets the Wild

Situated on the high-altitude Laikipia Plateau in central Kenya, Ol Pejeta Conservancy is a global trailblazer in wildlife conservation and a spectacular multi-species sanctuary. Spanning 360 square kilometres of pristine savannah, Ol Pejeta is an innovative ecosystem where wildlife protection, research, and sustainable community development thrive in perfect harmony.

Set against the magnificent, snow-capped backdrop of Mount Kenya, Ol Pejeta offers travellers an extraordinarily interactive and intimate safari experience that goes far beyond traditional game drives.

Rhino Sanctuary: Ol Pejeta is the largest sanctuary for endangered black rhinos in East Africa. It is a secure home to Najin and Fatu – the last two remaining Northern White Rhinos on Earth.

Chimpanzee Sanctuary: This is the only place in Kenya where you can see chimpanzees.

The “Big Five” & more: The conservancy offers excellent tracking for lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, and Cape buffaloes. It is also home to unique northern wildlife, including the rare Grevy’s zebra and Jackson’s hartebeest.
