Ol Pejeta Conservancy
Ol Pejeta is one of Kenya’s most important conservation landscapes, combining open savannah, private conservancy management and a strong focus on wildlife protection. It is especially known for the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary and its broader conservation initiatives.

WHY IT STANDS OUT
Large-scale conservation with a strong rescue story
Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary at Ol Pejeta is a rescue and rehabilitation centre for chimpanzees not native to Kenya. Many have been rescued from illegal wildlife trade and abusive captivity, and the sanctuary sits within a broader conservation landscape that also includes rhino protection and other wildlife work.
HOW IT FITS INTO A JOURNEY
A conservation-focused stop for a broader safari route
Ol Pejeta is an excellent addition to a broader southern Kenya itinerary, especially for travellers interested in conservation, rhinos and the wider landscape around the northern edge of the Laikipia region. Settimo can help connect it to a route that makes sense for your pace and interests.
