“On the windswept plains of Laikipia, Ol Pejeta demonstrates how visionary conservation safeguards the planet’s rarest creatures.”

Set between the snow-tipped volcanic spires of Mount Kenya and the dramatic ridges of the Aberdare Range, Ol Pejeta Conservancy is universally acclaimed as one of Africa’s most progressive wildlife sanctuaries. Formerly a working cattle ranch, this 90,000-acre wilderness on the Laikipia Plateau has been transformed into a thriving haven where modern conservation science, community empowerment, and luxury eco-tourism coexist seamlessly.

Ol Pejeta’s global renown rests on its guardianship of iconic, endangered species. In a dedicated enclosed sanctuary under 24-hour armed ranger protection live **Najin and Fatu**—the last two northern white rhinos surviving on planet Earth. Across the open savannas and whistling thorn acacia woodlands, more than 160 eastern black rhinos and dozens of southern white rhinos graze undisturbed. The conservancy also protects the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only place in Kenya where rescued and rehabilitated chimpanzees live freely along island river channels.

Every Ol Pejeta safari operated by Grand World Tours is delivered with uncompromised private field standards. We coordinate private departures in custom 4×4 Land Cruisers with certified Kenyan naturalists who facilitate rare conservation access: meeting rhino caretakers, tracking radio-collared lion prides, and joining armed night game drives with infrared spotlights.
