Ol Pejeta Conservancy is a renowned wildlife conservancy located in Laikipia County, Kenya. Spanning 140 square miles (360 square kilometers), it is the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa and is famed for its efforts in wildlife conservation and community development. The Conservancy offers an exceptional safari experience, blending wildlife viewing with conservation education. Wildlife Ol Pejeta Conservancy is home to a remarkable diversity of wildlife, including the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino). The conservancy is particularly noted for its population of black and white rhinos, and it also houses the last two northern white rhinos in the world. Other notable species include Grevy’s zebras, Jackson’s hartebeests, and various bird species. The Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only one in Kenya, provides a safe haven for rescued chimpanzees. Scenery The conservancy features a diverse landscape ranging from acacia-dotted savannahs to dense thickets and lush riverine forests. The backdrop of Mount Kenya to the southeast adds a picturesque element to the scenery, providing excellent photographic opportunities. The Ewaso Nyiro River, which runs through the conservancy, attracts a variety of wildlife, especially during the dry season. Weather and Climate Ol Pejeta Conservancy enjoys a semi-arid climate with warm days and cool nights. The area experiences two rainy seasons: the long rains from March to May and the short rains from October to December. The dry season, from June to September and January to February, typically features clear skies and pleasant temperatures, making it ideal for wildlife viewing. Best Time to Visit The best time to visit Ol Pejeta Conservancy is during the dry seasons, from June to September and January to February. These months provide optimal conditions for game drives and other outdoor activities, as animals tend to gather around water sources, making them easier to spot. The cooler, drier weather is also more comfortable for visitors.
