Visit Ol Pejeta Safari Cottages
An independent, family-owned and operated safari property situated on the award-winning Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Laikipia, Kenya. Located in the southern wilderness area, Ol Pejeta Safari Cottages have unrivaled access to some of the area’s most secluded game-viewing areas. Nestled in a quiet river valley, the Ol Pejeta Safari Cottages offer comfort, seclusion, exclusivity and a wonderful wildlife experience. Guests in each cottage have their own exclusive use of a highly-qualified Kenyan guide and safari vehicle at no extra cost, plus a private chef, waiter and housekeeper. Personal service and attention to detail are paramount from hands-on owners with 30+ years’ experience in the safari industry.
Accommodation

Rachel resides on the vibrant West Coast of Canada, specifically on Vancouver Island. She has a profound love for travel, having explored nearly 30 countries. However, it was a solo journey to Africa that truly ignited her passion. Upon stepping foot in Botswana for the first time, Rachel was captivated and knew she needed to explore more of the continent. Since then, she has ventured solo to Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mauritius, South Africa, Uganda, and Kenya, where she traveled with Gamewatchers Safaris and Porini Camps.
It was during these experiences that Rachel realized her desire to be a part of the Gamewatchers team.Â
