Ol Pejeta Conservancy

Located between Mount Kenya and the Aberdares, this 360-square-kilometer protected area supports diverse wildlife including lions, elephants, leopards, and buffalo.

After operating as a cattle ranch during colonial times under John and Jane Kenyon from 1949, the land transformed into a wildlife conservation area in 2004.

The conservancy operates multiple programs supporting local communities through education, healthcare, water access, and infrastructure development across Laikipia County.

Visitors can access the conservancy via a four-hour drive from Nairobi or through scheduled flights to nearby airstrips, with accommodation options within the reserve.

The protected area houses the last two northern white rhinos on Earth and maintains the largest black rhinoceros sanctuary in East Africa.
