It lies between the foothills of the Aberdares and the magnificent snow-capped Mount Kenya. The conservancy boasts an astounding variety of animals including the ‘Big Five’ (the lion, the African elephant, the Cape buffalo, the leopard, and the rhinoceros) and the world’s last two remaining northern white rhinos. It is also home to a number of endangered species such as the black rhino, Grevy’s zebra, Reticulated Giraffe, and Jackson’s hartebeest.
The Conservancy is recognized for its innovative approach to conservation, which includes the integration of wildlife and livestock, community development, and the use of modern technology for wildlife protection. It is also the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa. Ol Pejeta Conservancy offers excellent wildlife viewing. All of the Big Five are here (but don’t count on seeing leopard) and sightings of both black rhino and white rhino are common. Ol Pejeta has some of the highest predator densities in the region, and in addition to the big cats, there is a small chance of seeing wild dogs. Other sought-after species here include the Beisa oryx, reticulated giraffe and Grevy's zebra.
