Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Ol Pejeta Conservancy spans approximately 90,000 acres in central Kenya, situated on the equator with stunning views of Mount Kenya. Originally a cattle ranch, it was transformed into a wildlife conservancy in the late 20th century. Today, it supports a diversity of wildlife, including the Big Five: lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo, and leopard. The conservancy is particularly renowned for its efforts in rhino conservation, hosting both black and white rhinoceros populations. In addition to rhinos, it serves as a sanctuary for chimpanzees rescued from illegal trade, housed in the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary within the conservancy. Ol Pejeta offers numerous activities such as game drives, walking safaris, and community interactions, providing immersive experiences for wildlife enthusiasts and conservation-minded travelers.
