Ol Jogi Wildlife Conservancy

It is a visit to a wildlife rescue center, not a game drive. A 1-2 hour excursion. Be ready for 1-2 hours offroading in a relatively well maintained murram section. A good part of the 'tarmacked' section will need your patience if you care about your vehicle's suspension. 36km approx. one way. Very interesting how one can get close to a grown elephant and feed it. Once in a lifetime opportunity. The animals are healthy and well taken care of. The guides are passionate. The premise well maintained. Highly recommend!

Oljogi is a sanctuary for wildlife & a haven for those seeking breathtaking beauty of the wild.Every turn reveals a new wonder.Both caged and free animals are true definition of effortless grace

Very memorable place for family getaway. You can never get enough of this place

Loved the experience and seeing a bear for the first time was mind blowing, staff were very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend the place.

Loved the place, the guides were very knowledgeable and willing to entertain and get a close-up with some of the animals. The road to the place is not all that good, make sure you have at least a big car or good ground clearance, enough fuel, a lot of cold water, AC because of Dust and you might go offline for 3 hours in the area. You'll love the place, though.

My team was able to see most animals at very close range. Lion, Elephant, cheetah, Bear ( The only Bear in Africa), Pauline the Parrot who's 36 years old and many more. Friendly and helpful staff right from the gate to the reception. Should improve on labelling landmarks to be more visible. Got lost in the park and also stuck, the response from the office was very swift. Thank you.

A five star experience. Wondering whether you should go to Ol Jogi? Don't think. Just go. It's a hidden gem that's not talked much about/advertised. It's fairly priced as well (KES 800 for adults + KES 1,000 for car parking.) The staff are super friendly and super helpful. Our guide Simon Mungai was great and patient. And then there are the two legendary elephant handlers who've been with the elephants for 32 years!. Please tip them! Things to note: 1. Leave Nanyuki for Ol Jogi early. Preferably before 9 am, especially if you'll not be spending the night in Nanyuki. The place is remote (with no cell network coverage) and the road bumpy for most sections. It's a 1.5 to 2 hrs. drive. It's also easy to get lost. Getting lost (As we did) added 1 hour to our drive 2. (It's not well labelled, and I still don't know the difference), but if you are going to the Animal Orphanage (WRC - Wildlife Rescue Center), take the right turn once you reach the Dol Dol route junction. Maps shows two directions to the Ol Jogi Wildlife Conservancy. Option A: Continuing straight ahead which is roughly 30 mins, or the Dol Dol route (Right turn) which is 45 minutes from the junction. Going straight ahead is not the animal orphanage route, and most people waste an hour or so heading into that direction Anyways, highly recommended!

Fine weather, amazing views. The only place where Bear is found in Africa, it has many other animals and Top class accommodation.
