Ol Pejeta Bush Camp

a riverside wilderness in Kenya’s renowned rhino sanctuary

Ol Pejeta Bush Camp is located on the Ol Pejeta Conservancy within the Laikipia South area in central Kenya.

Set along the Ewaso Nyiro River, this traditional tented camp offers a relaxed and authentic bush atmosphere within one of East Africa’s most successful conservation areas. The conservancy is home to a large population of both black and white rhino, including the last two northern white rhinos in existence, and is one of the best places in Kenya for close-up rhino viewing.

Owned and operated by Alex Hunter, a long-time Kenyan guide, the camp retains the feel of a small, owner-run operation. The atmosphere is informal and intimate, with an emphasis on good guiding, flexible activities, and a strong connection to conservation and community projects across the conservancy.

The camp sits beneath a grove of acacia trees overlooking the river, with a central mess area featuring a dining tent, lounge, and campfire overlooking the water. The design is simple but comfortable, with canvas, wood, and traditional safari furnishings throughout.
