OL PEJETA BUSH CAMP
Ol Pejeta Bush Camp is a traditional tented safari camp with just six tents, set on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in a 100,000 acre wildlife sanctuary – called Ol Pejeta Conservancy. The Ol Pejeta Conservancy and Bush Camp’s aim is to take game-viewing and environmental knowledge to a whole new level, and is ideal for those wishing to get a bit more out of their safari.
The owner-managed camp gives a unique safari experience, described by guests as ‘the real Africa’, offering interactive conservation activities, whereby guests are given the opportunity to experience modern wildlife conservation first-hand. Likewise, for those seeking a nature retreat and wishing to distance themselves from a busy schedule, rest, relaxation and independence are all equally encouraged.
Ol Pejeta offers an interesting range of educational and interactive activities in addition to bush walks and day and night game drives.
Guests can meet with the researchers based at Ol Pejeta and monitor elephant and track rhino and lion on foot or you can spend some time in the hide at the waterhole to see what turns up.
There is also the opportunity for sleep outs in the bush beside the water hole where all equipment including night vision monuculars is included.
Ol Pejeta is East Africa’s biggest Rhino sanctuary offering the chance to see the now very rare and endangered animals.
There is also a Chimanpazee Sanctuary within the Conservancy, originally started by the renowned expert Jane Goodall and home to over 50 rescued chimps.
This lodge also makes a good base for those wishing to climb Mount Kenya
