THE EXPERIENCE

so much more than a safari

 

GAME DRIVES ENTIRELY ON YOUR SCHEDULE

Our handpicked team of professional guides know the best game viewing areas, understand the intricacies of the African bush and are eager to share their knowledge with you.

With your own personal guide and customised safari vehicle at your disposal, visits to the Safari Cottages are as perfectly suited for those who prefer to have their own space like families or couples as they are with more specific and specialist interests like bird watching, walking and photography.

WILDLIFE CONSERVATION

Of all the beautiful, wild spaces in Kenya that we could have chosen to build our home we chose Ol Pejeta because of their dedication to conservation. In 1993 Ol Pejeta was home to just 20 black rhinos but with thanks to tourism, fundraising, community involvement and an astonishing amount of hard work and dedication they now boast a population of 171. The conservancy is also home to the last two remaining Northern White Rhinos on the planet, Najin and Fatu, who you are invited to visit during your stay.

Ol Pejeta’s business model and success have made them global leaders in conservation innovation and we’re incredibly proud to support their work.

DAY TRIPS

Our central location in Kenya makes for an a safari holiday that goes beyond game driving. From your home here at The Safari Cottages we offer day trips to:

  • explore the pristine wilderness of Aberdares National Park in search of forest elephants, giant forest hogs, bongos and birdlife

  • hike across the undulating plains of Mt kenya, stopping for a picnic to soak in the incredible views

  • spend the day walking through treetop canopies and splashing in the crystal clear pools and waterfalls of Ngare Ndare Forest
