Ol Pejeta, Kenya
A leading sanctuary for rhino conservation and East Africa's only chimpanzees.
Where East Africa's largest black rhino population is protected within sight of Mount Kenya, carving a model for conservation-led safari travel.
Ol Pejeta is East Africa's largest black rhino sanctuary and home to the last two northern white rhinos left on Earth. It is also the only place in Kenya to see chimpanzees, hosted at a sanctuary for animals rescued from the illegal pet trade.
With Mount Kenya visible on clear days and a strong conservation-first ethos, it offers a different kind of safari focused as much on protection as on viewing.
