Ol Pejeta

Ol Pejeta is a not-for-profit organisation and all net revenue is applied back into the support of conservation efforts and community development. With funds raised through partnerships, grants and a dynamic tourism venture, Ol Pejeta provides a haven for numerous species. Through these efforts, we maintain high-security standards coupled with ecological monitoring to give endangered species the best possible survival chances and population rehabilitation.

The integration of livestock, agriculture and tourism activities within the same space make Ol Pejeta among the most unique destinations in Africa. Thus, we have secured our landscape in a manner that is productive (employment, taxes) and serves as a vital corridor for migratory animals connecting them to the broader Laikipia ecosystem and beyond.
