4 Days / 3 Nights – Signature “Beyond the Big Five” Itinerary

Destination Overview

Nestled on the Laikipia Plateau with the majestic backdrop of Mount Kenya, Ol Pejeta Conservancy is a 90,000-acre private wilderness that offers one of the most diverse safari experiences in Kenya. It is famous for having the highest density of wildlife in Kenya outside of the Maasai Mara, but with a much more exclusive feel.

At Maudie Safaris, we recommend Ol Pejeta for those who want a “Big Five” experience with a unique twist. It is the only place in Kenya where you can see chimpanzees, and it serves as the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa. The conservancy sits directly on the Equator, allowing you to cross between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres during your morning game drive.

Preserving the Ecosystem

Ol Pejeta is at the global forefront of wildlife conservation. It is the final home of the world’s last two Northern White Rhinos, Najin and Fatu. By visiting Ol Pejeta with Maudie Safaris, your conservancy fees go directly toward the 24/7 armed surveillance required to protect these animals.

The conservancy also operates a model that integrates wildlife conservation with sustainable livestock ranching, proving that humans and nature can thrive together. Your stay supports the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, a refuge for chimps rescued from the black market, and funds community projects in education and healthcare for the people living on the conservancy’s borders.
