The Camp
Ol Pejeta Bush Camp
Ol Pejeta Bush Camp lies on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in the Laikipia region of central Kenya. It makes a fine base for getting to know the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, famous for its conservation work.
The conservancy has black and white rhino and the Big Five, and it is home to the world's last two northern white rhino, kept in a protected enclosure. The Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only place in Kenya to see chimpanzees, is here too.
The camp has guest tents and family tents with verandas, a lounge with a fireplace and a shared dining area. Beyond the game drives and night drives there is an unusual list of things to do, from lion tracking with researchers to riding among rhino on horseback.
