An eco-award-winning small luxurious tented camp nestled in the shadows of Mount Kenya at the foot of an indigenous forest overlooking a waterhole in the wilderness zone of Ol Pejeta. The camp's squeaky green safari chic marries beautifully and sensitively with the natural beauty of its surroundings.
Despite being on the Equator, the camp boasts an altitude of 6,000 feet, introducing cool mornings and evenings influenced by the nearby mountain. Visitors are urged to prepare for the colder temperatures while relishing the eco-friendly charm and breathtaking scenery that define this award-winning retreat.
With 90,000 acres of wilderness, Ol Pejeta Conservancy is home to Kenya’s largest population of Black Rhinos, large numbers of elephants, cheetahs, lions, leopards, and plentiful plains game.
