Ol Pejeta Bush Camp is a traditional, very comfortable tented bush camp on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro river, and is the home of owner-managers Alex and Diana Hunter. The camp is set in nearly 100,000 acres in the Laikipia region of central Kenya, right on the Equator next to Mount Kenya itself. Ol Pejeta Conservancy has the highest resident game-to-area ratio of any park or reserve in Kenya. We have incredible wildlife viewing and a fantastic array of activities, without your stay being marred by seeing a lot of other vehicles. If you've always wanted to go on a real safari, then we have the camp with the style and ambiance for you. Most nights from your tent after dinner, you will hear lions roar and leopards grunting, after an evening round the camp fire admiring a sensationally starry sky.
Our tented bush camp on the Ol Pejeta Conservancy offers guests a unique kind of safari experience in Kenya. Stay for any number of nights, and we aim to get you doing and seeing everything you want to during your visit. Our four-night Interactive Conservation Safari gives guests 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 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.
Ol Pejeta Bush Camp has 6 tents with double or twin beds, all overlooking the river, so accommodates a total of 12-14 guests sharing. We also have one larger tent which can accommodate a family of 4 - eg. 1 double and 2 singles, or 3-4 singles. The camp can be booked exclusively for a family or group of 4 or more for a reasonable 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 which last around 6 hours per evening, 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!).

Our superb Head Chef Gilbert Masha makes bread daily in the traditional charcoal safari oven (using eco-charcoal made on Ol Pejeta), and a wide variety of salads, meat and vegetarian food in camp and for bush breakfasts and picnics; he is famed for his curries, soups, cakes and puddings. We get fabulous beef, lamb and honey direct from Ol Pejeta Conservancy. All drinking water is mineral water, and wine, beer, sodas, cordials, juices and a variety of spirits are provided. Please let us know of any special food and drink preferences and/or allergies in good time before your stay as supplies are bought in specially.
Guests may be able to have the opportunity to observe special activities such as animal capture/release, treatment of injured animals, or wildlife translocations for example, should they be going on during their time on the Conservancy. Management-level guest speakers are also able to come to camp and talk about their fascinating and complex work, integrating wildlife conservation and research with domestic cattle, alongside tourism and community development.
