Kicheche Laikipia is an eco-award-winning small luxurious tented camp nestled in the shadows of Mount Kenya, at the foot of an indigenous forest overlooking a waterhole. The camp’s squeaky green safari chic marries beautifully and sensitively with the natural highs of her surrounds in the wilderness zone of Ol Pejeta.

Experience & Activities

With 90,000 acres of wilderness, the Ol Pejeta Conservancy is home to Kenya’s largest population of black rhino, large numbers of elephant, cheetah, lion, leopard, African wild dog and plentiful plains game. There are also a number of the rarer Northern species such as Grevys Zebra, Jackson’s Hartebeest and Beisa Oryx. Ol Pejeta Conservancy also permits night game drives which focus on species not seen on regular day drives.

While in Ol Pejeta, you can visit the Morani Center and the endangered species enclosure with the last remaining Northern white rhinos on the planet, the chimpanzees sanctuary, or pay a visit to the anti-poaching dogs (some activities at a fee). For the more active visitors, canoeing, horse riding, mountain biking and bush walks are available.

Accommodations

There are six luxurious tents, with one being a spacious family suite with two bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms, connected by a lounge furnished with a sofa and small table enabling private dining.
