Ol Pejeta Bush Camp is situated on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in Kenya’s Laikipia region. There are magnificent views of Mount Kenya and the wildlife is never far from camp thanks to a popular salt lick on the opposite bank of the river. In addition to offering a classic Big 5 safari, Ol Pejeta private conservancy is home to the last two remaining northern white rhinos in the world, as well as about 40 rescued chimpanzees. Warm and knowledgeable guides will introduce you to the diverse habitats of the Aberdares foothills, and offer the opportunity to experience the camp’s profound conservation ethos and pioneering projects.

Ol Pejeta Bush Camp is an eco-friendly tented camp that has just seven down-to-earth tents. Accommodating a limited number of guests ensures that you enjoy a truly authentic African experience that is perfect for intimate family vacations and romantic safaris. The camp offers a variety of activities such as game drives, night drives, lion tracking, guided nature walks and community visits.
