About Ol Pejeta Conservancy

Ol Pejeta Conservancy is a private conservancy on the Laikipia plateau with views of Mount Kenya. It is one of East Africa’s leading conservation projects and holds the largest population of black rhinos in the region.
Ol Pejeta is home to the Big Five, plus Kenya’s only chimpanzee sanctuary, where rescued chimps live in a protected forest. It is also where the world’s last two northern white rhinos live under 24-hour protection.
