OLPEJETA CONSERVANCY EXCURSION

EXCURSION TO OLPEJETA CONSERVANCY.

Price: 200$ per person for at least two
Departure time highly recommended we leave very early in the morning in order to maximise on the game drive at the conservancy.
Large enough to accommodate a whole host of unique activities, game drive routes and diverse wildlife, but small enough that you can do almost all of them in eight hours. For the pressed-for-time and the spontaneous, Ol Pejeta is one of the best wildlife conservancy's in Kenya to do a day trip.
After a morning game drive, day trippers can visit the chimpanzees and endangered species enclosure, before grabbing a bite to eat at Morani's Restaurant or parking up in a designated campsite for a picnic. The afternoon can be spent visiting Baraka the blind black rhino, keeping curiosity wild at the education centre, and perhaps winding down with another game drive before leaving.
Guardianship - We are caretakers of the land, safeguarding endangered species and ensuring the openness and accessibility of conservation for all.
Innovation - An innovative attitude is part of our make-up, we empower our people to think the same way and embrace new approaches to conservation.
Authenticity - We provide natural wilderness experiences, backed up by scientifically credible conservation and genuine interactions with wildlife.
From a working cattle ranch in colonial Kenya, to a trailblazer of conservation innovation - the story of Ol Pejeta is as enchanting as it is inspirational.
Today, Ol Pejeta is the largest black rhino sanctuary in east Africa, and home to three of the world’s last remaining northern white rhino. It is the only place in Kenya to see chimpanzees, in a Sanctuary established to rehabilitate animals rescued from the black market. It has some of the highest predator densities in Kenya, and still manages a very successful livestock programmers. Ol Pejeta also seeks to support the people living around its borders, to ensure wildlife conservation translates to better education, healthcare and infrastructure for the next generation of wildlife guardians.
In 2014, Ol Pejeta achieved IUCN Green List status, one of only two conservancies in Africa to be awarded this. IUCN Green Listing aims to define excellence in managing valuable natural areas. We have also been awarded the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence three years running - a testament to the incredible experiences treasured by all who visit Ol Pejeta.
In 2015, we published our 2020 Management Plan - which was developed by our staff in consultation with a range of stakeholders, and sets out our vision for the years leading up to 2020, outlining the major projects that will help us to deliver our vision. We want to become an innovative and sustainable model that conserves biodiversity (particularly endangered species) and contributes to economic growth and the improvement of the livelihoods of rural communities.
