The destination

One home, one conservancy.

Ol Jogi is a 58,000-acre private wildlife conservancy on the Laikipia Plateau near Mount Kenya, about 225 km north of Nairobi. It says that in 1980 it became the second private rhino conservancy in Kenya.

Guests stay in a single private home of eleven bedrooms in eight cottages, one group at a time, with the whole conservancy to explore.

    Ol Jogi lists game drives, bush walks, canyon exploring and sundowners in the bush.

  2. Rhino orphanage and vet clinic

    Guests can visit the rhino orphanage, the veterinary clinic and the wildlife rescue centre.

  3. A tunnel to the waterhole

    A tunnel runs from the house to a hide at the waterhole in front of it.

When to go

The conservancy through the year.

July to March

The high season in KWS guidance for Kenya's parks, when shorter grass can make wildlife easier to see. Sightings are never guaranteed.

April to June

The long rains. KWS says most park roads may need four-wheel drive at this time.

All year

KWS describes Kenya's central highlands as cool and the north as hot and dry, so pack for warm days and cool evenings.
