Ol Pejeta Conservancy has some of the highest game densities in East Africa so, in terms of wildlife, Ol Pejeta is as wild as it gets. It is one of the easiest places in East Africa to see the Big Five – you may even see all five on one day.
However, Mount Kenya Wildlife Estate is separated from Ol Pejeta by an animal-proof fence, creating a secure environment for visitors lloking for a place to stay in Nanyuki. Plains game will roam free inside MKWE while predators and large game stay the other side. Larger animals often seen within MKWE include Grevy’s and Burchell’s zebra; Beisa oryx; bushbuck; dik dik; duiker; caracal; mongoose (slender and white tailed); Thomson’s gazelle; wart hog; impala; plus a huge variety of other small game and birdlife.
