    Ol Pejeta Bush Camp

    A relaxed and authentic safari experience within a pioneering reserve

    Owned and managed by legendary guide Alex Hunter, Ol Pejeta Bush Camp is an excellent base from which to discover the renowned Ol Pejeta Conservancy, from the pioneering conservation projects to the spectacular sightings of white and black rhino and rare Northern wildlife.

    Sitting on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River, commanding magnificent views to Mount Kenya, six traditional East African safari tents offer a true bush experience – low key and low impact but thoroughly comfortable.

    All tents come complete with warm blankets for the winter mornings, rechargeable solar lights and en-suite bathrooms with hot-water safari bucket showers. Individual verandas provide the perfect spot to while away an afternoon in privacy, watching the animals come and go along the river bank.

    The two communal tents looking out over the sprawling plains are the hub of the camp. Meals are enjoyed under canvas in the dining tent, while the breezy mess tent with its inviting sofas and armchairs encapsulates the friendly, relaxed atmosphere in camp. When darkness falls, evenings are spent around the fire, waiting to catch a glimpse of a rhino ambling down to drink at the river.

    Alongside the traditional game drives and bush walks with Alex Hunter, activities from Ol Pejeta Bush Camp focus on the unique conservation projects in the conservancy. Visits to the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary – the only place in Kenya where this highly endangered species can be seen – and the Northern white rhino enclosure are both on offer, as well as mornings or afternoons spent with the local communities to gain an insight into the daily workings of the conservancy.

    Places to combine Ol Pejeta Bush Camp with

    Serian Kimya Kimya

    Maasai Mara

    Serian Kimya Kimya

    Tucked into a secluded riverside within the vast expanse of the Mara North Conservancy in Kenya, Serian’s Kimya Kimya is an intimate retreat offering the opportunity to experience the magical Maasai Mara. The camp is located in Ngare Serian’s private conservancy, which borders the main Maasai Mara Reserve. The area allows for off-road driving and guided walking safaris, meaning more intimate, immersive encounters that bring you closer to the land, its wildlife and its stories.

    Kimya Kimya is designed to accommodate just six guests, making it one of the most exclusive accommodations in the region. Crafted from timber and canvas, the main suite spans two stories and offers a front-row seat to the river’s daily drama. From the upper level, a deep bush bath sits poised above the flowing water-an invitation to enjoy a soak whilst elephants wander by and hippos swim in the pools below. The suite also features both indoor and outdoor dining areas, a plush mosquito-netted bed and open-air showers. Two additional tented suites are located nearby, ideal for families or small groups. Each is designed with spacious en suite bathrooms and private decks, offering serene vantage points for a morning coffee or quiet contemplation after a day of adventure.

    The camp includes a dedicated private vehicle, expert guide and personal chef, allowing you the freedom to tailor each day to your preferences. Rise with the sun for a walking safari across the plains, follow predator tracks through golden savannahs or simply linger in camp, lulled by the sounds of the river. In the evening, enjoy fireside aperitifs or lantern-lit dinners beneath the stars.
