Ol Pejeta Bush Camp

Beautifully located on the banks of Ewaso Nyiro River in Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Ol Pejeta Bush Camp is an intimate camp ideal for your Laikipia safari holiday in Kenya.

Ol Pejeta Bush Camp looks to offer a unique kind of safari experience, combining the more traditional game drives and walks with an insight into the daily running of a wildlife conservancy and cattle ranch. Visits to see the Northern White Rhinos, the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary and hippo hide, taking part in lion tracking and wildlife monitoring, learning about wildlife-livestock integration and seeing local schools and community projects are all possible. You can also self-drive a vintage land cruiser or take part on a guided run along the plains.
