A beacon of light in the world of conservation, Ol Pejeta is famously the home of the world’s two last northern white rhinos as well being the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa. It also has chimpanzees and a high density of other wildlife. It is where Channel 4's Secret Safari (transmitted in early 2021) was filmed.
During the pandemic, Ol Pejeta has been offering a varied virtual programme ranging from the obligatory game drives to joining the morning routine of the northern white rhinos (they love being scratched by the rangers!), walking with the anti-poaching tracker dogs and joining the armed rangers for a fierce gym workout. What's more, on 26 June 2020 we were treated to an incredible live broadcast of an elephant rescue, in which the Kenya Wildlife Service and Ol Pejeta treated a mature bull elephant with a nasty foot infection, probably caused by a bullet. These guys rock - you'll want to go stay (or even volunteer) here when we can travel again.
