ONE DAY TRIP TO OL PEJETA CONSERVANCY
Previously known as Sweetwaters, Ol Pejeta is a privately-owned 90,000 acre wildlife conservancy. Originally a cattle ranch, in some areas you will still see wildlife and cattle grazing happily side by side. The conservancy has a variety of habitats including thick scrub, marsh lands, rivers and open plains.
About 3 hours, 30 minutes drive north of Nairobi, Ol Pejeta Conservancy sits on the equator, high on a plateau, between the foothills of the Aberdares range and Mount Kenya. It hosts a wide variety of animals, including the ‘big five’, and many bird species. On a clear day, and normally in the morning, you have panoramic views of Mt Kenya and her snow-capped peaks.
Ol Pejeta is committed to conservation and has a number of projects to protect endangered species, including white and black rhino. They also have a chimpanzee sanctuary which is home to these primates who have been rescued from abusive or captive situations.
Please note, while it is possible to do a day tour to Ol Pejeta from Nairobi, you will not be in the park during early morning or late afternoon, which can be the best times for viewing game.
The alternative is a 2-day / 1- night safari, which offers a number of unique experiences which you can add to a safari including a night game drive and lion tracking.
