Are you looking for somewhere not very far away from the busy Kenyan capital, Nairobi, to relax and rewind? We got you with our Nanyuki getaway to Olpejeta Conservancy.
Here are some reasons why you should visit Olpejeta Conservancy in Kenya;
-
Meet the Big Five (and Avoid Becoming Lunch)
Ever wanted to see a lion up close without it eyeing you like a snack? At Ol Pejeta, you can enjoy the thrill of spotting the Big Five while safely tucked away in your safari vehicle—because being the main course isn’t on the itinerary.
-
Hang Out with the Last Northern White Rhinos
Meet the world’s last two northern white rhinos. They’re practically celebrities—only without the drama and paparazzi. Just don’t ask them for autographs; they’re more into grazing than signing things.
-
Chimpanzees Who Have Seen It All
Visit the only chimp sanctuary in Kenya, where rescued chimps get a fresh start. These guys have stories—so if you’ve ever felt like swinging from the trees after a bad day, they totally get you.

Scenery That Makes Your Instagram Jealous
- Between Mount Kenya and the Aberdares, Ol Pejeta has views that will make your friends think you photoshopped your vacation. Pro tip: Pack extra memory cards—you’re going to need them.
-
Adventures That Put Your Couch to Shame
- Game drives, bush walks, and even lion tracking (yes, tracking lions on purpose). It’s like your regular stroll in the park, but with more teeth and claws. And if you’ve ever wanted to channel your inner Indiana Jones, this is your moment.
-
Support Conservation Without Breaking a Sweat
- Want to save the planet without leaving your luxury tent? Visiting Ol Pejeta is like earning eco-points—just by showing up. It’s conservation made easy, with a side of gourmet meals.

Escape the Urban Jungle (No Mosquitos Here)

-
Experience Luxury in the Wild
- Who says you can’t have a five-star experience in the middle of nowhere? Stay in style at Ol Pejeta, where the only thing wilder than the animals is the minibar.
