Most amazing trip I’ve ever been on!!! Ol Pejeta Conservancy provides luxurious accommodations, exquisite culinary delights and wonderfully friendly staff. I’d like to give a shout out to the chef. He was accommodating to folks with food preferences and created the best culinary delights ever!!! We ate to our fill 3 meals a day! And even had great box lunches made for one of our safari drives. I’d like to make a big shout out to our fabulous guide, Lakura. He was so knowledgeable and informative whether telling us about the largest animals or the smallest bugs. He could identify birds, plants and trees as well. He openly shared about his Samburu and Masai roots. One could tell how much he loves his country and his culture. Ol Pejeta Mutara Conservancy will not disappoint!

Landscape is absolutely beautiful and we saw so many animals! November is a rainy season, there was also El Nino where we were there so we don't have much sun, but everything was really green and awesome. Game drives are great, animals aren't really scared of the safari cars, so you can see them from really close! It's pure nature, just beautiful.

We have been to Ol Pejeta several times before and have stayed at Porini Rhino Camp and Sweetwaters . This time our two week safari was curated by Safarinut and we stayed at Ol Pejeta Cottages as we were a large group and wanted a more private experience. You can see my review of the cottages. If you want to see Rhinos then Ol Pejeta is one of the few places that can offer both White and Black Rhinos. There is also much other game and some like Grevys Zebra and Reticulated Giraffe that you won't see in many of the more southern Kenyan safari destinations. It is also the home of the two last surviving Northern White Rhinos and you can arrange to meet them Safarinut had arranged for us to visit the Rhino Information centre and the Chimp sanctuary as well as the rhino graveyard - this is not a graveyard as such but has little monuments to different rhinos with some sad stories of their death by poaching. There are many other activities such as participating in games with the anti poaching dogs and also tracking collared lions. Ol Pejeta channels 10% of its profits back into conservation.

This is an interesting park with lots of animals around. The conservancy work to ensure the animals are thriving and in balance with each other. Regardless of where you stay, the park has various ‘excursions’. We highly recommend seeing the White Rhinos and Lion Tracking. We stayed at the Serena lodge and recommended it. Unfortunately, it is impossible to go to the elephant orphanage in Nairobi and fly to Oj Pejeta on the same day. So, we rented a car and drove up. There is a rough gravel road you’ll need to navigate from the highway to get to the park. We survived it in a rental car.

I spent this weekend at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, and it was truly remarkable. The conservancy, nestled in Kenya, offers an exceptional wildlife experience. Seeing the last two northern white rhinos was particularly moving. The game drives were thrilling, thanks to the knowledgeable guides, and I got to see lions hunting and elephants playing. Besides game drives, there are guided bush walks and a chimpanzee sanctuary to visit. The eco-friendly accommodations were comfortable and blended well with the surroundings. My visit was both exciting and relaxing, and I look forward to returning.

The ICE program was some of the best two weeks of my life. If you’re looking for an opportunity to learn about conservation, meet experts in the field, and see a huge variety of wild animals, do this program! I arrived solo and joined a great group of 6 other travelers. The two weeks flew by, made up of volunteer experience, life changing game drives, opportunities to meet the local community, and more. Understanding why Ol Pejeta stands apart from other conservancies was awe inspiring, and contributing even just a small amount was so rewarding. Sam, our driver and group leader, took excellent care of us. The program was flexible and constantly engaging. I would highly recommend this program to people of all ages - basically anyone who wants to learn a bit more about animal and land conservation from a leading conservancy!

Such an incredible experience. We went lion tracking, behind the scenes at the chimpanzees to see them having lunch, and saw last two Northern White Rhinos. They are doing such important work at the conservancy. It was very special to get a glimpse of it all and support it. The conservancy itself is beautiful & a great place to see so many of Kenya’s animals. We stayed on the conservancy at the Stables. Which have simple, but nice accommodation and meals for those wanting to do safari on a budget. We decided to skip the luxury & do all the activities instead. There are lots of other accommodation options available though!

I'm so happy we got to come here and stay in the conservancy. While a "conservancy" it's huge! Think Aruba x 2. They have done such an amazing thing to end poaching and are working to bring back the Northern White rhino, which you can go visit. I'm so happy our Kenya part of our trip started here.
