Ol Pejeta Conservancy

Ol Pejeta Conservancy is a non-profit wildlife conservancy, a sanctuary for chimpanzee and generates income for wildlife tourism and community development. It is home to the big 5, which includes the endangered black and white rhino, the lion, elephant, buffalo, and leopard, as well as a sanctuary for rescued chimpanzees.

Situated between the foot of the Aberdares and the snow-capped Mt Kenya lies the 360 sq km known as the Ol Pejeta Conservancy (informally known as the Sweet Waters).

The non-profit wildlife conservancy works to conserve wildlife, provide a sanctuary for chimpanzee and generate income through wildlife tourism for conservation and community development. The Conservancy is home to the big 5, which includes the endangered black and white rhino, the lion, elephant, buffalo, and leopard, as well as a sanctuary for rescued chimpanzees.

Visa requirementsAs of January 2024,1 Kenya is a visa-free country, but all foreign visitors must apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before travel via the official website. Requirements include a valid passport (6 months+), a recent passport photo, contact details, flight itinerary, and hotel bookings. The eTA must be approved before boarding.

Sports & nature

The Sweetwaters chimpanzee sanctuary, which is the only one in Kenya for this endangered species, was started in 1993, with an initial group of 3 chimpanzees being brought into the sanctuary from Burundi after the end of the civil war, and this number has increased over the years as more chimpanzees are rescued from harsh or threatening situations. They are given names on arrival in the Sanctuary, and such names include Bahati, Ali Kaka, Alley, Jojo, Eva, among others.

Nightlife info

Ol Pejeta Conservancy's nightlife focuses on immersive wilderness experiences and relaxed lodge atmospheres rather than traditional city-style entertainment. The primary evening activity is the Night Game Drive, a rare opportunity in Kenya to see nocturnal wildlife like aardvarks, bat-eared foxes, and active big cats.

Wilderness Nightlife Activities

Night Game Drives: Discover the conservancy "after hours" using filtered spotlights to spot elusive creatures.

    • Timing: Available daily in two slots: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM and 9:00 PM – 11:00 PM.
    • Notable Sightings: Lion hunts, leopards, zorillas, white-tailed mongooses, and bushbabies.

Sundowners & Bush Dinners: Watch the sunset over Mount Kenya with drinks and appetizers. Morani’s Restaurant offers a dedicated sundowner package upon request. Many luxury camps like Porini Rhino Camp include sundowners and campfire stories as part of their evening routine.

Culture and history info

Since the rescued chimpanzees are never introduced to the wild again, you can adopt a chimpanzee and support the work of the sanctuary. As mentioned earlier, the Ol Pejeta Conservancy aims to secure habitat for the purposes of wildlife conservation and, in particular, the endangered black rhino species, making it now the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa.

In 2009, they received 4 of the last Northern white rhinos from a zoo in Chechnya to ensure they got favorable breeding conditions to ensure they do not extinct.
