Ol Pejeta Conservancy: Rhinos and Chimps

The Last Northern White Rhinos

Ol Pejeta Conservancy is home to the last two northern white rhinos on the planet. A visit to the conservancy is a chance to see these magnificent animals and to learn about the groundbreaking efforts that are being made to save their species from extinction. It is a powerful and poignant experience that highlights the fragility of our planet's biodiversity. For more on rhino conservation, visit our knowledge center.

A Haven for Chimpanzees

Ol Pejeta is also home to the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only place in Kenya where you can see these great apes. The sanctuary provides a lifelong refuge for chimpanzees that have been rescued from the black market. A visit to the sanctuary is a chance to learn about the threats facing chimpanzees and to support the efforts to protect them. Our safari advisors can arrange a visit to the sanctuary as part of your Ol Pejeta itinerary.

A Big Five Destination

In addition to its rhinos and chimpanzees, Ol Pejeta is a Big Five destination, with a healthy population of lions, leopards, elephants, and buffalos. The conservancy's open plains are ideal for game viewing, and night drives offer a chance to see nocturnal animals such as aardvarks and bat-eared foxes.
