Ol Pejeta is a working conservancy: cattle and wildlife share 360 km² of Laikipia plains, and the revenue funds one of the continent's most serious rhino protection operations. It is also home to the world's last two northern white rhinos, kept under 24-hour guard.
Because it is private land, guides can walk with you, drive after dark and take you behind the scenes with the anti-poaching and canine units — access you simply cannot get in a national park.
Why Ol Pejeta Conservancy is unique
- Home to the world's last two northern white rhinos
- East Africa's largest black-rhino sanctuary
- Chimpanzee sanctuary and Big Five viewing
- Night drives and conservation-led encounters

Driest tracks and clearest Mount Kenya views.

- Scheduled flights to Nanyuki airstrip, then a 40-minute transfer.
Where to base yourself

- Nanyuki and the Mount Kenya foothills for wider lodge choice
Planning notes from our team
- A superb first or last stop — close to Nairobi and reliably productive.

Common questions
Can I see the northern white rhinos?
