A Kodak-moment Extravaganza
We had a wonderful trip to Ol Pejeta Conservancy, where we stayed at the Sweet Waters tented camp. Sweet Waters was very welcoming and luxurious, service was top-notch and the food was very good. They made sure that we got a kid-meal a little early so there was room for some grown up dining when the kid slept.
The park is beautiful with a wide variety of bush, marsh and forest landscapes. We saw a lot of beautiful animals on some amazing game drives. Unfortunately we missed out on the big cats and only saw their leftovers.
Our guide, Francis, was very knowledgeable about the wildlife, and took good care of us.
Highlights of the safari must be a close encounter with a Black Rhino, a sunrise over Mt. Kenya and a Giraffe coming to drink right in front of our tent.

Exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities. Birding opportunities were limited. The vastness of the area meant that we rarely saw other safari vehicles. Fantastic safari destination for first-timers.

A Must On Any Kenya Safari Itinerary
Ol Pejeta Conservancy is vast with open plains and many access tracks, and areas of bush offering perfect cover for the bigger predators and the more timid animals. Except for birds, wildlife was plentiful. We saw numerous Black rhino, White rhino, lion, buffalo, elephant, giraffe, ostrich, warthog, zebra and baboons. Surprisingly, although in peak season, we rarely encountered other vehicles on our game drives which added to the magic when encountering the various species.
We had seen TV programmes and researched Ol Pejeta beforehand, so were very keen

to include it on our itinerary. It certainly did not disappoint, and was arguably the highlight of our safari, largely due to the excellent accommodation and lack of crowds when on game drives. Highly recommended.

An amazing safari, a great conservancy programme, a kind staff.
I was in Ol Pejeta Conservancy, in Kenya. They have a programme to provide a refuge for chimpanzees rescued from the black market. You will find there a kind staff who will share with you their expert knowledge about the different species. On the other hand, visiting this animal sanctuary you will help them to protect two endangered species: white and black rhino. There are a lot of activities to do and our guided tour was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it to everybody concerned about the future of the wildlife.

I've never seen so much wildlife in one place. If you're looking for a quick Safari destination, this might be your best bet. And while at it, visit the only place with chimpanzees in Kenya and the rhino sanctuary. You might want to extend your stay like I did.

A fantastic place for a safari in a place where conservation is at the forefront of their work.
A brilliant safari with lots of wildlife present. We were able to see lions, elephants, rhinos and lots of hyenas, as well as numerous different bird species. The option to do a night drive was an added bonus, giving an insight in the animals behaviour after dark. All of this takes place with stunning scenery and fantastic conservation work undertaken by the conservancy. The visit involved learning about how they are engaging the local community into their plans, and it was good to see this in action as you drive through the park. The staff are very knowledgeable and happy to talk about their work too.
