Highlights
Wildlife Encounters
As well as visiting the rhino and chimpanzee projects, you can join expert trackers on morning, afternoon and evening game drives to go in search of elephant, leopard, cheetah, lion, black-backed jackal, spotted hyena and African wild dogs. Ol Pejeta is a bird-watcher's paradise with some 500 species recorded - including the migrant species from Europe and North Africa that visit the area from November to April.
Tracking Lions
Lions are becoming more vulnerable here, and you can learn more about the importance of protecting them by joining the Ol Pejeta researchers. Using specialist equipment, the collared lions are tracked, monitored and the data sent to the Ecological Department. Learn how to identify each individual by their whisker patterns, as well as uncovering how old they are by the colour of their nose. The data gathered is vital to protect them for future generations.
Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary
Established by the Jane Goodall Institute and the Kenya Wildlife Service, the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary provides a safe haven for orphaned and abandoned chimpanzees. Their natural large enclosure gives them a chance to socialise and interact as they are nursed back to health after their traumatic past. You can meet some of the 39 occupants, watch them feed and learn about this ultra-important conservation project.
