Ol Pejeta Conservancy, located in Laikipia County in central Kenya, is one of Africa’s leading wildlife conservancies. Spanning over 90,000 acres, it combines wildlife conservation with sustainable land use and community support. Ol Pejeta is globally recognized for its commitment to protecting endangered species, innovative conservation practices, and offering visitors unparalleled wildlife experiences.
Ol Pejeta is home to an incredible diversity of wildlife, including the “Big Five” (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino). It is particularly renowned as a haven for rhinos, hosting the largest population of black rhinos in East Africa and serving as a sanctuary for the last two remaining northern white rhinos on the planet. The Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, within the conservancy, provides a safe haven for rescued chimpanzees, making it the only place in Kenya where these primates can be seen.
The conservancy offers a range of activities for visitors, including game drives, guided walking safaris, and night drives to observe nocturnal animals. Additionally, the Rhino Information Centre provides educational opportunities to learn about rhino conservation efforts. Visitors can also enjoy behind-the-scenes tours to see how the conservancy operates or take part in “meet the keeper” sessions at the chimpanzee sanctuary.
Ol Pejeta works closely with surrounding communities to support education, healthcare, and infrastructure projects. The conservancy’s revenue from tourism and agriculture directly benefits local populations, helping to create a sustainable model that ensures both wildlife and people thrive.
While Ol Pejeta faces challenges such as poaching and habitat loss, it has set benchmarks in wildlife protection and sustainable management. Advanced anti-poaching technologies, such as aerial surveillance and armed ranger patrols, are key to its success.
Ol Pejeta Conservancy is more than just a wildlife destination—it’s a symbol of hope and innovation in conservation. By blending tourism, community empowerment, and cutting-edge conservation practices, it stands out as a beacon of how people and wildlife can coexist in harmony.
