Ol Pejeta Conservancy: A Haven for Rhinos

The Ol Pejeta Conservancy, located near Nanyuki, is one of East Africa's most significant rhino sanctuaries and a leading conservation organization. It is home to a substantial population of both black and white rhinos, including the last two northern white rhinos on Earth, Najin and Fatu, in a secure enclosure. A rhino sanctuary visit Nanyuki from Mtalii Bush Camps allows you to contribute directly to the ongoing efforts to protect these critically endangered animals. You'll learn about the intensive anti-poaching patrols, the vital role of conservancy rangers, and the innovative breeding programs designed to secure the future of rhinos. Besides rhinos, the conservancy also hosts the 'Big Five' (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino), chimpanzees rescued from the pet trade, and a diverse array of birdlife, making it a rich wildlife destination.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I touch or feed the rhinos during a sanctuary visit?
No, direct interaction such as touching or feeding rhinos is strictly prohibited to ensure their safety and well-being, and to maintain their natural behaviour. Our guides and sanctuary staff adhere to strict protocols to provide a safe viewing experience for both guests and the animals. You will observe them from a respectful and safe distance within your safari vehicle.
What is the best time of year to visit Ol Pejeta Conservancy for rhino sightings?
Rhino sightings at Ol Pejeta Conservancy are excellent year-round. However, during the dry seasons (June to October and December to February), vegetation is sparser, making animals, including rhinos, easier to spot as they gather around water sources. Even during the green season, the conservancy is vibrant and offers fantastic wildlife viewing opportunities.
