On arrival at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in the central Laikipia region, the dramatic and iconic snow-capped peaks of Mount Kenya overlooking this magnificent wildlife conservancy are a remarkable sight. 

At Ol Pejeta Bush Camp, you and the kids can enjoy game drives in search of lion, cheetah, buffalo, elephant, and white and black rhino. Thrilling night drives add a new layer of adventure to your family excursions, seeking out nocturnal species or predators on the prowl. A real highlight is a visit to the endangered species enclosure to meet the world’s last two remaining northern white rhinos. The rangers will explain the remarkable work being done to save the species from extinction; this is a humbling and memorable way to spend a morning or afternoon.

Ol Pejeta has eight tents, one of which is designed specifically for families with two connected en suite tents and a shared lounge in the centre. All tents offer an en suite bathroom, flushing toilets and hot running water. After an exciting day’s adventure, as the evening approaches, you can gather around the fire and relax with a favourite beverage, hearing the kid’s highlights of the day.

On arrival at the airstrip, you will be met and welcomed by a guide who will drive you to Encounter Mara, your home for the next phase of your family safari adventure. After settling into your comfortable family tent, a delightful lunch will be served beneath the shade of acacia trees. Offering ten tents with en suite bathrooms, flushing toilets, and hot water showers, you will all feel right at home and like a member of the Encounter Mara family. 

The camp is on the Mara Naboisho Conservancy, offering a high density and variety of wildlife sightings amidst a low number of safari vehicles, an ideal safari scenario. Lions, cheetah, leopard, giraffe, elephant, zebra and a wide variety of game call this conservancy home. Spend exciting days on safaris in the early morning and late afternoon into the evenings, when the wildlife is most active.
