Ol Pejeta is a private conservancy on the Laikipia plateau near Nanyuki. It protects the largest population of black rhinos in East Africa and the last two northern white rhinos in the world.
Because it is a conservancy, activities that are not allowed in national parks, such as night drives and walking safaris, are possible here. Mount Kenya is often in view.
