Ol Pejeta Conservancy – A Modern Sanctuary for Wildlife Conservation
Nestled between the foothills of Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Range, Ol Pejeta Conservancy is one of Africa’s most innovative and impactful conservation areas. This 90,000-acre private conservancy offers a rare chance to see the Big Five and experience conservation in action, all while enjoying high-quality safari experiences. Ol Pejeta is home to the last two remaining northern white rhinos on Earth, offering visitors a unique and emotional connection to a critically endangered species. It also hosts the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only place in Kenya where rescued chimpanzees saved from illegal trade and abuse live in safety and dignity. Game drives across the conservancy reveal thriving populations of lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos (both black and white), cheetahs, hyenas, and more. Because of its private status, the conservancy allows for night drives, guided bush walks, and off-road tracking, enhancing the safari experience well beyond what’s permitted in national parks. Ol Pejeta also focuses deeply on sustainable tourism and community outreach, with a portion of visitor fees supporting local schools, clinics, and wildlife protection efforts. Visitors can tour the conservation facilities, meet anti-poaching dog units, and even adopt animals symbolically to contribute to their protection. Lodges within the conservancy range from luxurious tented camps to family-friendly eco-lodges, offering options for every type of traveler. The setting is stunning, with views of Mount Kenya often visible from your camp or lodge veranda. Ol Pejeta isn’t just about spotting wildlife it’s about understanding and participating in a broader mission to protect Kenya’s rich natural heritage.
