Ol Pejeta Safari Cottages

Nestled among an acacia-lined river bank in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, the Ol Pejeta Safari Cottages offer guests a truly exclusive wilderness experience. Providing a home-away-from-home atmosphere, this eco-friendly, luxury accommodation stands out as a rare gem in Kenya’s Laikipia region.

The unique safari setup allows guests the privilege of enjoying the services of a private chef who crafts unforgettable local dishes served within the cozy cottage dining room. After dining, relaxation can be found in the comfortable sitting area, where one might enjoy a nightcap while absorbing the soothing sounds of the African bush at night. Five-star service is assured, with meticulous East African attention to detail reflected in every element from the bedroom through to the living room and the covered deck.

Location

The Ol Pejeta Safari Cottages are situated in the renowned Ol Pejeta Conservancy within Kenya’s Laikipia region. Accessibility is excellent, with a 30-minute flight from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport into the nearby Nanyuki Airstrip or Kamok Airstrip, allowing guests to arrive and check in within the hour. Alternatively, the drive from Nairobi takes approximately four hours.

Rooms / Tents

The four luxury cottages are spacious and timeless in design, featuring furniture and decorative elements carefully crafted from wood and locally sourced materials. Two of the cottages, Moja Juju and Chini, offer single-bedroom accommodations with flexible bedding configurations available as either Double or Twin beds. The other two cottages, Mbili and Tatu, each feature two separate bedrooms, both en-suite; one bedroom contains a King size bed, while the other has two single beds.

Each cottage includes a lounge, dining area, and a cozy fireplace. The cottages are positioned close enough to be rented together for families or groups yet maintain sufficient distance to offer privacy when rented individually. All cottages feature en-suite bathrooms with showers and complimentary bathroom amenities.

Guests benefit from an outside kitchen where a dedicated chef, waiter, and attendant are available to cater to all needs throughout the stay, ensuring an intimate and personalized safari experience.

The cottages are fully equipped to offer comfort and convenience, including a private chef, a private cottage attendant, and reliable WiFi. A private 4×4 safari vehicle is provided for exclusive game drives, while guests may opt for a unique Equator Line bush breakfast or lunch experience amidst the wilderness.
