All the photos, videos, about a safari, will never truly describe the experience of it.

Its an excellent place to see and get close to rhinos, both black and white. Stayed at Serena Sweetwaters, a luxury tented camp. Would recommend, everything you need. A beautiful view from the camp facing a lake and out to Mount Kenya. Not though the best place to see Mount Kenya. Plenty of wildlife, very easy to navigate. There's a chimpanzee sanctuary, the only one in Kenya, but was a disappointment. Only saw 2 chimps. If this is your first trip to Kenya, this would not be top of my list. I would first recommend Maasai Mara and then Amboseli. If in the area of Nanyuki, and you have been to the big parks I would suggest a night lodge, but if you have not been to the big parks, then Ol Pejeta will give you the safari experience.

Lacked the sense of wilderness we so enjoyed at Samburu.

Great variety of wildlife, impressive scenery (Mount Kenya a stunning backdrop), fantastic wardens and staff.
The Conservancy is managed impeccably, good infrastructure, roads in good condition, safe and secure.

Excellent wildlife and environment, but shameful to one caregiver in the rhino sanctuary.
Overall rating
1/5

Excellent wildlife and environment. All staff members are very good and nice, except for one caregiver in the rhino sanctuary.

After being introduced to the rhino sanctuary and taking photos with the rhino (everything happened in 3 minutes), the so-called caregiver kept asking for tips. I gave him 5 US dollars, but he impolitely said it was not enough and demanded 10 US dollars. How disgusting!

We loved OlPejeta and our experience! Mutara Camp was top notch! The staff was amazing and the food was the best I’ve ever had on safari. Would recommend this destination to anyone!

Ol Pejeta with the special Chimp and Rhino sanctuaries makes it a must stop.
