Ol Peteja Bush Camp
Ol Pejeta Bush Camp is a traditional tented safari camp, set on the
banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in a 100,000 acre wildlife sanctuary – Ol Pejeta Conservancy. The Ol Pejeta Conservancy and 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 owner-managed camp gives a unique safari experience,
described by guests as ‘the real Africa’, offering interactive
conservation activities, whereby guests are given the opportunity to
experience modern wildlife conservation first-hand. Likewise, for those
seeking a nature retreat and wishing to distance themselves from a busy
schedule, rest, relaxation and independence are all equally encouraged.
The camp has just 6 ensuite safari tents (below).
