Ol Pejeta Bush Camp: Ol Pejete Wildlife Conservancy-Laikipia
Ol Pejeta Bush Camp is a very comfortable yet traditional bush camp on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro river. Owner-managed
by Alex and Diana Hunter of Insiders Africa, the camp is set in nearly100,000 acres in the Laikipia region of central Kenya,
right on the Equator.
This tented bush camp on the Ol Pejeta Conservancy will offer guests the opportunity for
a unique kind of safari experience in Kenya. Our four-night Interactive Conservation Safari gives a new insight into modern
wildlife conservation. During your days with us, you will encounter behind-the-scenes of daily life on this working wildlife
conservancy and cattle ranch. Guests are welcome to spend just one or two nights looking at some of these elements –
or as long as they want – being as active, interactive, or as relaxed as they like when staying in camp.
Accommodation at Ol Pejeta Bush Camp Ol Pejeta Bush Camp has 6 tents with twin beds, all overlooking
the river, and accommodating a total of 12 guests sharing. The camp can be booked exclusively for a family or group of 4 or
more for a small supplement per night. Further temporary tents can be added for larger groups if you have a special request.
The style is of a traditional, simple, comfortable safari; the camp is built on an entirely eco-friendly design, there
are no permanent structures and we make the camp’s environmental impact as low as possible. Tents are furnished with
single/double/twin beds (duvets and blankets), re-chargeable solar lights, ensuite loos, washstands on the tent veranda, and
safari bucket showers (brought on request, of any preferred temperature by guests at any time of day!). Activities
at Ol Pejeta Bush camp This is for those interested in opportunities to observe and participate in the fascinating and complex variety
of work on Ol Pejeta Conservancy. Combining the integration of wildlife conservation with livestock production, and work within
the local communities, we can propose a program whereby each day, at least one conservation activity is combined with a morning
or afternoon walk.

identification material
