Pack essentials like sunscreen, insect repellent, and comfortable clothing suitable for game drives. Binoculars and cameras are a must for spotting and photographing wildlife. Guided tours enhance the experience, providing insights into the conservancy’s conservation efforts. Booking accommodations and activities in advance is recommended, especially during peak seasons.

Ol Pejeta is about 200 kilometers north of Nairobi, a 3.5 to 4-hour drive via the Nairobi-Nanyuki Highway. It is also accessible by a 45-minute flight to the Nanyuki airstrip, followed by a short drive to the conservancy. Private transport or guided tour packages are the most convenient options.

The best time to visit Ol Pejeta is during the dry seasons, from June to October and January to February, when wildlife is easier to spot around waterholes. However, the conservancy is open year-round and offers unique experiences in all seasons, such as lush landscapes during the rains.

While Ol Pejeta is best enjoyed over several days, day trips from Nairobi are possible, especially with a private vehicle or organized tour. A typical day trip includes game drives, a visit to the Chimpanzee Sanctuary, and a chance to see the northern white rhinos. Tour packages often include transport, meals, and a guide.
