Ol Pejeta Safari
Track the world's last two northern white rhinos, meet rescued chimpanzees, and drive the full Big Five circuit on one of Kenya's most rewarding conservancies. Tanajay Safaries plans a personalised Ol Pejeta safari tour, from a quick day trip to a full Laikipia wildlife circuit.
Kenya's Leading Rhino Sanctuary, Between Two Mountain Ranges
An Ol Pejeta safari tour is built around a rare privilege — walking distance from the last two northern white rhinos left on Earth, and East Africa's largest population of critically endangered black rhino, all inside a private 360 km² conservancy set on the Laikipia Plateau between the foothills of Mount Kenya and the Aberdares. Because Ol Pejeta is privately run rather than a national park, an Ol Pejeta Conservancy tour can include walking safaris, night game drives and lion tracking that most Kenyan parks don't allow.
At Tanajay Safaries, we provide everything needed to turn that into an easy, well-run trip. We handle the details so you don't have to:
- Custom Ol Pejeta itineraries built around your dates, budget and pace — a single day tour to a full multi-park circuit
- Kenya-based driver-guides who know the rhino sanctuary, the chimpanzee enclosures and the best game-drive routes
- Airport pickups, transfers and camp bookings across every budget tier, handled end to end
- Combination routes that pair Ol Pejeta with the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru or a Diani Beach add-on
- 24/7 support before, during and after your safari
Whether it's your first Kenya safari or you're adding Ol Pejeta to a longer trip, Tanajay Safaries plans the route, books the camps and keeps everything running smoothly from the moment you land.

Ol Pejeta Safari FAQ
June to October, and again from January to March, are the driest months and the best for game viewing on an Ol Pejeta Kenya safari, when wildlife gathers around waterholes and roads are easiest to navigate. Ol Pejeta's flat grassland means it stays rewarding year-round.
A single Ol Pejeta day tour covers rhino tracking and the chimpanzee sanctuary, but 2-3 days lets you add night game drives and lion tracking. Extend to 5 days to combine Ol Pejeta with the Masai Mara or Lake Nakuru.
Yes. As a private conservancy rather than a national park, Ol Pejeta allows walking safaris, night drives and close encounters with rescued chimpanzees that many national parks don't permit, which makes it an engaging stop for kids.
It's roughly a 3.5-4 hour drive from Nairobi via Thika and Nanyuki, or a short scheduled flight to Nanyuki Airstrip followed by a 45-minute transfer. Tanajay Safaries arranges both options as part of your package.
