Ol Pejeta Bush Camp

• With just eight standard tents and two family tents nestled along the Ewaso Ngiro River, you'll enjoy an intimate safari experience with stunning river and plains views right from your private veranda.
• As a B Corp certified operation, the camp channels your stay into meaningful conservation work, including anti-poaching efforts and community programs that make a real difference to local wildlife protection.
• You'll gain exclusive access to extraordinary conservation experiences like the rhino sanctuary, chimpanzee sanctuary, and anti-poaching canine unit, all guided by passionate experts who bring the bush to life.
• The camp runs entirely on solar power and embraces authentic safari-style living with canvas tents, hot water bucket showers, and rustic charm that connects you directly to the wilderness.

Ol Pejeta Bush Camp sits in the authentic, rustic camp category rather than the luxury lodge space. If you're looking for marble bathrooms and butler service, this isn't your spot. But if you want a genuine bush experience with bucket showers, canvas tents, and that real safari feeling, it's perfect.

The camp only has six standard tents plus a family tent, so you'll get incredibly personalized service and an intimate atmosphere. What sets it apart is the conservation focus - you're staying right in Ol Pejeta Conservancy, which is famous for its rhino sanctuary and being the last place on earth with northern white rhinos. Your stay directly supports these conservation efforts.

While other camps in the area might offer more polished accommodations, Ol Pejeta Bush Camp gives you that authentic safari experience that's becoming harder to find. It's run by Asilia Africa, a B Corp company, so everything from the solar power to community engagement is thoughtfully done.

• The camp focuses on authentic bush experiences over luxury amenities - there's no swimming pool or spa, which might surprise those expecting resort-style indulgences.
• Wi-Fi is only available in the communal lounge and tends to be slow, with no internet access in your tent for those who need to stay connected.
•  The rustic bucket showers and elevated tent platforms on natural terrain may not suit travelers with mobility challenges or those preferring modern bathroom facilities.

Ol Pejeta Bush Camp features 7 luxury canvas tents, with 6 standard safari tents and 1 specially designed family tent that accommodates up to two children.

Each tent sits on a raised platform with en-suite bathrooms featuring bucket showers and flushing toilets, plus private verandas overlooking the Ewaso Ngiro River or surrounding plains.

The camp operates on solar power and includes all meals, drinks, safaris, and transfers in your stay.

Located along the Ewaso Ngiro River, each tent is built on a raised platform with cream-colored canvas walls and vibrant patterned furnishings that create an authentic safari aesthetic. The comfortable beds can be configured as either double or twin beds to suit your preferences.

Your private veranda offers river and plains views with comfortable seating, while the en-suite bathroom is fitted with a flushing toilet and traditional hot water bucket shower. Solar lighting throughout provides eco-friendly illumination, and you'll find ample storage space and a writing desk for your convenience.

Positioned along the Ewaso Ngiro River on a raised platform, this specially designed tent accommodates families with additional sleeping space for children while maintaining the same rustic safari elegance as the standard accommodations.
