The gate opens, and everything shifts. No crowds. No minibuses. Just you, your guide, and eyes in the grass. This isn’t the safari you expected—it’s the one you didn’t think was possible.
Ol Jogi Conservancy isn’t public. That means no tourist vans in line, no picnic sites with strangers, no feeling like you’re part of a group tour. What you get instead is silence, privacy, and wild Africa at your pace.
Set across 58,000 acres in Laikipia, Kenya, Ol Jogi is one of the most exclusive wildlife conservancies in Africa. It was once a private family ranch. Today, it’s a conservation haven where endangered species roam safely—and guests get the kind of access usually reserved for royalty.
Because sometimes you want space. Not empty space—but space where elephants roam and leopards hunt. Space where conservation isn’t a slogan but something you see, feel, and walk beside.

The animals at Ol Jogi are not camera-shy. Some are critically endangered. All are wild, protected, and part of a larger conservation mission.

| African Wild Dogs | Reintroduced population with ongoing monitoring |
| Elephants & Giraffes | Often near waterholes and salt licks |

And then there are animals with names. Rescue animals that are part of Ol Jogi’s wildlife protection program. You don’t just spot them—you hear their stories.
Ol Jogi isn’t about schedules. It’s about freedom. The freedom to choose what you do, when you do it, and how close you want to get.
Private Game Drives (Day & Night):
No need to rush to catch a lion before someone else does. Your guide drives just for you. At night, the conservancy turns into a theater of glowing eyes and stealthy movements.
Walking Safaris:
Walk with an armed ranger through silent valleys and bush trails. You’ll learn the language of tracks, scat, and sounds—and feel more animal than observer.
Horseback Riding:
Ride among zebras and giraffes in parts of the conservancy unreachable by car. No fences. No noise. Just hooves and hooves.
Visit the Wildlife Rescue Centre:
Here, animals that were orphaned or injured are cared for with world-class veterinary support. Some stay for life. Others get released back into the wild.
Visit the Rhino Sanctuary:
Ol Jogi’s rhino program is one of the most successful in Kenya. You’ll get to learn what it takes to protect these ancient creatures in a modern world.
Cave & Rock Exploration:
Hidden caves with ancient rock art lie within the conservancy. Your guide will take you into places older than cities—still untouched.
Cultural Visits (on request):
Engage with the Samburu or Maasai communities nearby for an honest look into pastoralist life, traditions, and the future they’re building with conservation in mind.
Ol Jogi is a year-round destination. But depending on what you’re after, here’s what you need to know:
Dry Seasons (June–October, January–March)
Best time for game viewing. Grass is short. Animals gather around water sources. Days are sunny and comfortable.
Green Seasons (April–May, November–December)
The landscape turns lush. Newborn animals are everywhere. Fewer visitors overall. You’ll enjoy dramatic skies, blooming flowers, and softer light—perfect for photography.
No matter when you visit, the exclusivity means you won’t be sharing sightings with strangers.
Ol Jogi Conservancy is located in Laikipia County, central Kenya—north of Nairobi and just west of Mount Kenya. It sits at the ecological crossroads of Kenya’s highlands and drylands, attracting both savannah and mountain wildlife.
By Air (Recommended):
Private charters land directly at Ol Jogi’s private airstrip. Scheduled flights are available to Nanyuki Airstrip from Wilson Airport (Nairobi), followed by a 1-hour road transfer to the conservancy.
By Road:
It’s a 4.5 to 5-hour scenic drive from Nairobi via Nanyuki. While longer, it’s a rewarding road trip—passing farmlands, forests, and mountain views.
Once inside Ol Jogi, you won’t need a car again. The experience is fully guided, private, and seamless.
There’s only one lodge in Ol Jogi—and it’s yours while you’re there.
Ultra-Luxury (Entire Villa Rental)
Lavish living quarters, individually themed rooms, French-inspired interiors, private chef, pool, spa, and your own safari team. Sleeps up to 14 guests. Ideal for groups, families, or just those who want complete privacy.
Every part of the home was designed with intention. Antique doors. Hand-carved art. Rooftop stargazing spots. And views where giraffes just casually pass by.
You book the whole place. This isn’t a hotel. It’s a private villa with full staff and exclusive access.
Perfect for special occasions: Anniversaries, family reunions, or a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon.
Weather shifts fast: Bring both sun hats and fleece jackets.
Wi-Fi is available—but don’t expect to use it much.
You don’t just visit Ol Jogi. You become part of its conservation story.
Ol Jogi is the kind of place you hesitate to post about—because part of you wants to keep it secret. But some places are too special to gatekeep. This is one of them.
