Ol Pejeta Conservancy


Located in Central Kenya at the base of Mount Kenya, Ol Pejeta Conservancy is a remarkable blend of conservation, wildlife, and breathtaking landscapes.
Known globally for its pioneering conservation work, Ol Pejeta is home to the world’s last two remaining northern white rhinos, a powerful symbol of the ongoing fight to protect endangered species.
Spanning a mosaic of wooded grasslands, open plains, acacia woodlands, and evergreen thickets, the conservancy offers a rich safari experience. Visitors can encounter everything from towering elephants feeding on whistling thorn trees to lions silently stalking prey across the plains, as well as graceful giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, and even chimpanzees, thanks to a dedicated sanctuary within the reserve.
Ol Pejeta goes beyond the traditional safari—it invites travelers to witness conservation in action. Guests can visit the rhino sanctuary, track collared lions with researchers, and learn firsthand how the conservancy balances wildlife protection with sustainable cattle ranching. This innovative approach makes Ol Pejeta a model for modern land and wildlife management in Africa.
To truly appreciate everything Ol Pejeta has to offer, from close-up conservation encounters to unforgettable game drives, a minimum stay of two nights is highly recommended. This is a place where wild Africa meets cutting-edge conservation, and every moment tells a story worth remembering.
