The Last Northern White Rhinos

One of the most moving experiences at Ol Pejeta is visiting Najin and Fatu, the last two northern white rhinos on the planet. Protected around the clock by armed rangers, these two females represent the final chapter of their subspecies — and a rallying call for global conservation. A visit to Ol Pejeta is a chance to witness history and support the ongoing efforts to save them through advanced reproductive science.

Chimpanzee Sanctuary

Ol Pejeta is home to East Africa's only chimpanzee sanctuary, providing a safe haven for rescued chimps from across Central Africa. Guided sanctuary visits offer a rare and intimate encounter with these remarkable primates, adding a unique dimension to your Kenya safari.

Conservation & Community

Ol Pejeta is a model for sustainable conservation in Africa. The conservancy works closely with local Maasai and Kikuyu communities, channeling tourism revenue into schools, healthcare, and livelihoods. By choosing an Ol Pejeta safari, you are directly contributing to wildlife protection and community development in Kenya.

Best Time to Visit

Ol Pejeta is a year-round destination. The dry seasons (January–March and June–October) offer the best game viewing with sparse vegetation and animals concentrated around water points. The conservancy's higher altitude (around 1,800 m) keeps temperatures pleasantly cool compared to other Kenyan parks.
