Location
The Ol Pejeta Conservancy boasts the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa and is host to the “Big Five game,” including lions, buffaloes, and elephants, among a large selection of other African animals, which makes it a popular safari destination. It is located at the foot of Mount Kenya, home to a large number of black and white rhinos.
Ol Pejeta is a 364sq km wildlife conservancy situated between the foothills of Mt. Kenya and the Aberdare, and its game-to-area ratio tops the Kenyan park and reserve league. It has over 10,000 large mammals and it is the only park where the Big Five and chimpanzees can be seen.
The conservancy is only a three-hour drive from Nairobi and welcomes day visitors. Its main gate is 14 kilometers from the equator turn-off, just before Nanyuki town.
