Asilia Ol Pejeta Bush Camp

Ol Pejeta Bush Camp is amazing! The property is great and the staff take such incredible care of you. We spent three nights here and couldn't recommend it more for a memorable safari.

We’ve been looking forward to traveling to Ol Pejeta Bush Camp for some time — the commitment to conservation and social impact are what drew us to this camp and Asilia. All of our expectations were met and exceeded! The Ol Pejeta Bush Camp team was a warm welcome that felt like home, just a bit more luxurious (yes, even in a bush camp!) the feeling that Sushil and William have cultivated within the team and camp were palpable, feeling like a warm hug from an old friend. The small but mighty team did not miss a single detail from pre-arrival to post-departure. Naloise, Duncan and Jonathan attended to every need in camp and lovely to chat with. All meals (wake up coffee, breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, sundowner snacks and dinner) were delicious, and we never had to worry about being hungry between meals! Cyrus was our outstanding guide — his passion for nature and knowledge of the conservancy and ALL wildlife was unmatched. The car was never silent as we searched the conservancy for new sightings. Sun downers and bush breakfasts with Cyrus were a highlight of our stay. The open vehicle was very comfortable, clean, and spacious with lots of room to place drinks, cameras, and other equipment. The conservancy is a smaller eco-system area (500 square kilometers) compared to larger ecosystems like Mara-Serengeti but very healthy and in our 3 nights we never felt like we were retracing our steps. Our drives were busy from start to finish, packed full of sightings of animals and birds, so much so that we were often running a little behind as we found so many exciting sights on our return to camp (like a striped hyena). There are also experiences hosted by the conservancy (the northern-white rhinos and the canine anti-poaching unit) that were a great place to learn more about the amazing work that is being done by the conservancy. The Bush camp is sitting on a river bend which was also full of sightings from the main area and guest tents — you could spend an entire afternoon at camp enjoying wildlife in one of many comfortable chairs, couches or lounges. The new deck was expansive, a great extension of the main area, where communal meals and bonfires were enjoyed. The guest tents were well appointed, once you closed the zipper you forgot you were in a tent - newly pipped water has taken the place of bucket showers. The camp runs off of solar power, but Our stay was indeed authentic and followed the ethos of the Asilia company while also providing 5 star service in a bush-style camp.

We absolutely loved this place and highly recommend it. The tents are very comfortable and private and provide all conveniences like 24/7 hot water, bedside electrical/USB connections for charging, wifi, toiletries, bug repellant etc. You meet at the common area for meals and drinks. The food is on the level of a fine restaurant, as is the service. The staff is exceptional. They eat with you, help you in every way, and ensure safety and satisfaction. We had private game drives twice a day. The guide we had (Duma) was so remarkable. We loved him and his love and respect for what he was doing. But it goes way beyond that. All staff show incredible respect for the land and animals. The place is full of love. And we felt it. I hope to have the chance to go back. Thank you!!

Everyone was helpful and accommodating. Very nice living quarters and spectacular view, right outside your tent.

Fantastic property and amazing place to stay! Asilia is the perfect place to stay for comfort, luxury and seeing wildlife from a different perspective. The service was amazing as well. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous property + Warm and professional staff + Super delicious food + extremely knowledgeable and kind Guide = the perfect package for a life-changing safari experience in the bush! Our tent was right next to a river and even while sitting on our bed, inside our tent, we saw elephants, water bucks and wart hogs on the other bank. There are trees in the camp inhabited by Bush Babies and this place is a haven for bird watchers! The property managers, William and Sushil, were very warm and welcoming and we had some amazing conversations with them over tea and during our meals. We had the best time with our guide Rufus. He was extremely knowledgeable and he shared a love for bird watching, just like my husband and I. Every game drive we went for was interesting in its own way. Rufus had stories about every animal and bird we saw and each of them was more fascinating than the other. We are immensely grateful to him and the team at Asilia Bush Camp for making our stay so memorable!

Intimate camp, strategic location, and the staff is just awesome! The food was amazing, and I couldn't thank them enough for accommodating vegan choices. The location is just perfect... seeing a rhino just walking in front of my tent while enjoying a coffee at sunrise was a precious moment! Thank you, Sushil, Anthony, and your amazing staff.

What an unbelievable oasis! We booked ol pejeta last minute because amboseli was booked up and we are so thankful we got into this camp. Everything about this place was amazing. From the managers (Sushil and Ezina), the safari guides (Dhuma), hospitality staff, chefs, the escorts to the rooms, EVERYONE felt like family. This place was a small 7 tent camp, which made it feel intimate and we were able to eat with other guests family style and get to know the staff really well, which we loved. The food was home cooked and fresh. The tents were kept clean and they would set it up every afternoon and night like we were royalty. Guides were excellent with bush camp meals while showing us the animals. Highly recommend this camp! Thank you everyone who made it special.
