Kicheche Laikipia Camp

Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Laikipia, Kenya

A small, owner-run camp on the edge of Ol Pejeta, built around genuinely personal guiding and some of Kenya’s best black rhino tracking.

Overview

Kicheche Laikipia Camp keeps to just a handful of tents on the edge of Ol Pejeta, part of the small, guide-led Kicheche collection that has built its reputation on genuinely personal safaris rather than scale. It sits within reach of one of East Africa’s most significant rhino conservation stories.

Rooms & Table

The Rooms

A small number of spacious canvas tents on raised decks, each with an outdoor shower and private veranda overlooking the surrounding bush.

Food & Service

Home-style meals taken together around a communal table or, weather permitting, under the stars, with the camp’s guiding team a constant presence at the table.

Activities

Game drives across Ol Pejeta’s varied terrain, dedicated rhino tracking with conservancy rangers, and, on request, a visit to the conservancy’s chimpanzee sanctuary.

Wildlife & Photography

Ol Pejeta holds East Africa’s largest black rhino sanctuary and, since 2018, is also home to the last two northern white rhino on Earth, in addition to strong lion, leopard and wild dog populations.

A Photographer's Note

Rhino tracking here is done at close range with expert trackers, offering some of the most reliable and intimate black rhino photography available anywhere in Africa.

Conservation & Impact

Ol Pejeta is one of Africa’s flagship conservation models, funding anti-poaching, rhino protection and community programmes directly through tourism revenue, and Kicheche’s presence supports that funding stream directly.
