Located in Laikipia County, between the foothills of the Aberdares and Mount Kenya, Ol Pejeta Conservancy is a world-class wildlife sanctuary. Once a cattle ranch, it has transformed into a global leader in conservation, protecting some of the world's most endangered species in an authentic safari setting.
As the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa and home to the world's last two northern white rhinos, Ol Pejeta offers a unique, conservation-focused safari that is both educational and deeply moving.
Ol Pejeta is home to all members of the "Big Five"—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. Beyond these icons, the conservancy boasts high densities of predators like cheetahs and rare African wild dogs. You can also spot specialized northern species like the Grevy’s zebra and Jackson’s hartebeest.
Every visit to Ol Pejeta directly supports wildlife tourism and local community programs, ensuring that your safari makes a real difference in both conservation and the lives of those who protect this incredible land.
It is the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa. Most importantly, it is the home of Najin and Fatu, the world's last two remaining northern white rhinos, who are under 24/7 armed protection.
Chimpanzees are not native to Kenya, but Ol Pejeta hosts the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary. It is a lifelong refuge for rescued chimpanzees and is the only place in the country where they can be observed in a natural-like environment.
Unlike national parks, the conservancy allows for night game drives, guided bush walks, and specialized activities like lion tracking and visiting the endangered species enclosures, providing a much closer look at conservation in action.
