Ol Pejeta Conservancy: Wildlife Haven & Diverse Lodging

Ol Pejeta Conservancy is a world-renowned wildlife sanctuary, famous for its conservation efforts, including the last two northern white rhinos, chimpanzee sanctuary, and abundant plains game. Within Ol Pejeta itself, you'll find a range of safari lodges and camps, from rustic to luxurious. Staying directly within Ol Pejeta offers immediate immersion in the wildlife experience, with game drives accessible directly from your accommodation. Lodges like Sweetwaters Serena Camp or Porini Rhino Camp offer different experiences, each with its own charm and proximity to specific attractions within the conservancy. However, staying outside the conservancy, as at Mtalii, can offer a different perspective and access to a broader range of activities in the wider Laikipia region.
