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.
