More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You roll north out of Nairobi in a purpose-built 4x4 Landcruiser and the tarmac gives way to long grasses and the first profiles of acacia against Mount Kenya’s shoulder. By the time you reach the camp the light has thinned to gold and a watering hole beyond the mess tent is already claiming the silhouettes of elephants and zebras.

History
Ol Pejeta transitioned from a working ranch to a private conservancy to protect wildlife and now manages one of East Africa’s most important black rhino populations.
Conservation
Anti-poaching patrols, community revenue-sharing and species-specific programs (like the chimp sanctuary and rhino protection) are central—visiting supports those efforts.
