Ol Pejeta

Our friends Carly and Gio generously offered us a stay at their lovely cottage in Nanyuki. We took them up on their offer to go there for a long weekend so as to visit Ol Pejeta, a conservancy not far from Laikipia, which is known to have a larger population of both black and white Rhino. It did not disappoint!

We had close encounters with many kinds of creatures. Many Rhino, Elephant, Giraffe, Hyena, Jackals and Bat Eared Fox, and beautiful bird life, both large and small. Ol Pejeta also has a special enclosure with a blind, tame Rhino that can be petted. We also visted Sweetwater, a sanctuary for Chimpanzee from all over East Africa that was founded by Jane Goodall.
