Product Description

The River Camp Ol Pejeta is a beautifully situated eco-friendly safari camp set along the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River inside the world-renowned Ol Pejeta Conservancy near Nanyuki. With the sounds of the river as your backdrop and the wildlife of one of Africa’s finest conservancies right outside your tent, this camp offers a truly authentic and deeply peaceful bush experience.

For travelers seeking a close connection with nature without sacrificing comfort, The River Camp Ol Pejeta is an exceptional choice.

Inside Ol Pejeta Conservancy

Being located inside Ol Pejeta Conservancy is one of the most significant advantages of staying at The River Camp Ol Pejeta. Guests have direct, immediate access to the conservancy’s remarkable wildlife—including the Big Five, the last northern white rhinos on Earth, a chimpanzee sanctuary, and an extraordinary diversity of plains game and birdlife.

Unlike camps located outside the conservancy boundary, guests here can begin game viewing the moment they step outside, making every morning a potential wildlife encounter.

Accommodation

The camp features comfortable eco-conscious tented accommodation set directly on the riverbank. Each tent is thoughtfully designed to minimize environmental impact while maximizing the guest experience—with quality bedding, private facilities, and uninterrupted views of the river and surrounding bush.

Waking up to the sound of elephants crossing the river or hippos calling at dawn is the kind of experience that defines a stay at The River Camp Ol Pejeta.

Dining and Atmosphere

Meals are prepared fresh daily, drawing on locally sourced ingredients to create satisfying, wholesome menus suited to the outdoor setting. Dining is often done communally, creating a warm and sociable atmosphere where guests share stories from the day’s game drives.

The camp’s riverside location also makes it perfect for sunset drinks—watching the light fade over the water and listening to the sounds of the African evening settling in.
