Luxury Holidays At Ol Pejeta Bush Camp

Perched on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in the foothills of the Aberdares and offering incredible views across to Mount Kenya, Ol Pejeta is an authentic bush camp with just six tents. Full of character, the camp takes you back to a bygone era, offering a traditional safari experience with hot water bucket showers in the en suite bathroom and meals served in the central mess tent. This eco-friendly haven uses solar energy and generators to power the camp, while batteries are available to charge your cameras so that you can capture the wildlife on your unforgettable morning, afternoon or night game drives. Between game drives, relax on your private veranda and watch the animals as they potter down to the river bank.

Hearty, homemade and delicious, the cuisine at Ol Pejeta Bush Camp uses organic ingredients from local ranches and farms. Breakfast at the camp includes local specialities and freshly-baked bread, while picnic breakfasts can be enjoyed during your early-morning game drive. Lunch includes a selection of salads, pastas and fresh fruit, before canapés served with drinks around the campfire before dinner. Dinner often features organic meat from Ol Pejeta Ranch, followed by mouthwatering homemade desserts.

Safari

Morning and afternoon game drives in open-sided vehicles are conducted in the wildlife-rich Ol Pejeta Conservancy. As well as a chance to see the ‘Big Five’, the conservancy has been successful in its protection of rare and endangered species - including the northern, southern white and black rhino, Grevy’s zebra and Jackson’s hartebeest. Using spotlights, night game drives will reveal the conservancy’s nocturnal creatures.

Wildlife Encounters

As well as game drives, you can join Alex Hunter, owner of Ol Pejeta Bush Camp, for an exploration of the conservancy’s eco-systems on foot. He will show you how to identify animal track and introduce you to the flora and fauna of the region. Why not join the researchers at Ol Pejeta Conservancy for a fascinating experience tracking lions? For research and conservation purposes, some of the lions have been collared so that their habits and movements can relay vital information to the Ecological Department.

Luxury Family Holidays

Ol Pejeta Bush Camp welcomes children over the age of five years and there are plenty of activities to keep even the most active youngsters entertained. They will get to spot some of the planet’s rarest animals with a visit to the northern and southern white rhino enclosures, go tracking lions with researchers and learn about apes at the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, home to rescued chimps.
