Masai Mara Reserve – Kenya
Ol Pejeta Bush Camp is a traditional tented safari camp in a 100,000 acres wildlife sanctuary – called Ol Pejeta Conservancy. The Conservancy and the Bush Camp’s aim is to take gameviewing and environmental knowledge to a whole new level, and is ideal for those wishing to get a bit more out of their safari. The camp is hosted by owner & private guide, Alex Hunter.
Ol Pejeta Conservancy is East Africa’s largest Black Rhino Sanctuary, with 81 individuals and a few southern white rhinos. Recently, the Conservancy became home to four of the world’s last eight surviving northern white rhinos – the success of their breeding programme here at Ol Pejeta is crucial to the survival of the breed.
