Your Private Safari Retreat in Laikipia

Welcome to Ol Pejeta Safari Cottages, where the thrill of Kenya’s wild heart meets the warmth and comfort of home. Set deep within Ol Pejeta Conservancy’s private wilderness zone, these charming cottages offer a rare blend of privacy, luxury, and authenticity—perfect for travelers looking for an exclusive, handcrafted safari experience.

Whether you're planning a romantic escape, a family holiday, or a long-awaited bucket-list adventure, Ol Pejeta Safari Cottages are your ideal base for exploring one of Kenya’s most unique and conservation-driven landscapes.

A Hidden Gem in the Wild

Tucked along a peaceful, acacia-lined riverbank in Laikipia, the cottages feel miles away from the rest of the world—yet they are conveniently located within one of Kenya’s most celebrated wildlife conservancies. This is a place where elephants wander past your veranda, birdsong greets each morning, and the rhythm of the wild sets the pace of your days.

Each cottage is thoughtfully designed to reflect the surrounding landscape—built with natural materials, large windows, and wide verandas that blur the line between indoor and outdoor living. The result? A stay that feels grounded, personal, and deeply connected to the land.



Exclusive Comfort, Personalised Safari

Ol Pejeta Safari Cottages aren’t just a place to stay—they’re a place to settle in, unwind, and truly live your safari. Each cottage includes spacious bedrooms, private en-suite bathrooms, and a welcoming lounge area with a fireplace for cozy evenings.

A dedicated private guide and vehicle are part of every booking, allowing you to explore the conservancy on your own terms. Whether you want early morning game drives, sundowners in secret spots, or a full day out with a picnic in the bush—it’s all tailored to you.

Families and small groups will love the flexibility and privacy, while couples can enjoy an intimate escape that still offers five-star attention and service.

Wildlife Encounters Like No Other

Ol Pejeta Conservancy is renowned for its exceptional wildlife experiences, and staying in the cottages puts you right at the heart of it all. This is home to the Big Five, as well as endangered rhinos, chimpanzees, and an incredible variety of plains game and predators.

You might spot:


  • Black and white rhinos—including the last two northern white rhinos on the planet
  • Lions, leopards, elephants, and buffalo
  • Grevy’s zebra, Jackson’s hartebeest, and reticulated giraffe
  • A rich array of birds and smaller creatures that bring the bush to life


This isn’t just a safari—it’s a front-row seat to conservation in action.

The cottages are locally owned and run with a strong commitment to community and conservation. From sourcing local ingredients to employing local guides and staff, everything here is designed with purpose. Your stay helps support wildlife protection, habitat restoration, and the people who call Laikipia home.

Meals are delicious, homemade, and often tailored to your tastes. Expect hearty breakfasts, bush lunches, and candlelit dinners under the stars—all crafted with care and fresh, seasonal produce.
