Ol Pejeta Conservancy Wildlife & Conservation Excursion

Ol Pejeta Conservancy Wildlife & Conservation Excursion

About the Excursion

Ol Pejeta Conservancy offers travelers an opportunity to experience Kenyan wildlife while also learning about the conservation work behind the safari industry.

Located in the Laikipia region of central Kenya, Ol Pejeta is particularly recognized for its work protecting rhinos and other threatened species.

The excursion begins early in Nairobi because the conservancy is a considerable distance from the capital.

As you travel north, the scenery gradually changes from the urban environment to agricultural landscapes and the open country of Laikipia.

Mount Kenya may be visible along parts of the route when weather conditions are favorable.

Once you arrive at Ol Pejeta, begin your guided game drive.

Wildlife at Ol Pejeta

Rhinos are one of the major reasons travelers choose Ol Pejeta.

The conservancy provides important habitat for both black and white rhinos, making it an excellent destination for visitors interested in these remarkable animals.

You may also encounter elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, lions and other wildlife.

The guide will use recent sightings, tracks, habitat conditions and animal behavior to determine where to explore.

Because Ol Pejeta is a working conservation landscape, the experience can feel different from visiting a conventional national park.

The Conservation Experience

One of the biggest strengths of Ol Pejeta is the opportunity to connect wildlife viewing with conservation education.

Visitors can learn about the challenges involved in protecting endangered species, managing wildlife habitats and balancing conservation with the needs of surrounding communities.

Optional conservation activities may be added depending on availability and the traveler's interests.

These activities should be booked in advance and priced separately unless specifically included in the excursion package.
