Great place to see rhinos! - It was a great experience to see rhinos and other animals! The drive from Nairobi to the conservancy is long and bumpy but I found it to be worth it. My guide was great and he listened to what I wanted to see and went above and beyond to make it happen. I got to feed a blind rhino and see many other rhinos (including the last 2 northern white rhinos in the world). I also saw hippos, giraffes, zebras, elephants, and many other animals. Overall, it was a great experience!

Excellent and memorable trip - Myself and 3 friends did a day trip from Nairobi to Ol Pejeta conservatory with Perfect wilderness safari. We were very happy with our decision and could not be more pleased with the day.
We were fortunate to have Paul as our driver/guide. He kept us safe while driving and was informative along the way, answering any questions we had.
The reason for the trip was to see the Northern White Rhinos which did not disappoint. Perfect wilderness safari arranged for tickets ahead to time for us. I expected the tickets to just be a viewing. Instead we had a private hour with the rhinos where we learned about them from a park ranger and then had an opportunity to feed, pet them, and take pictures with them. It was an unforgettable experience.
The rest of the day was free to see other sites in the park. Paul was very accommodating and patient and took us anywhere we wanted to go. We chose to spend time with the blind rhino, the chimpanzees, and had lunch at the Serena sweet water lodge in addition to some game drives. We also got to stop at the equator (both in and outside the park). Paul also took us to a great souvenir shop outside the park after the tour.
It was a long day but very enjoyable. I would not hesitate to book the tour with this company. If you do, ask for Paul as a guide/driver

Ol Pejeta is amazing - Amazing place to visit. The roads are quite okay for a game drive(we used a 2wd saloon car). The routes are easy to follow with or without a guide. The experience with the wildlife is memorable. From the elephants at the elephant bridge to the water bucks, rhinos, chimpanzees etc. You will definately get to see alot of wildlife on this conservancy.

Ol Pejeta with Paul - It was just a perfect trip, my guide Paul picked me up at 5 am and I had a chance to see a lot of Kenya’s incredible landscape. When we got to the conservancy, we popped the roof of the car open and went on a game drive. It’s such a nice place and the rhino density is really high. I brought my camera and Paul was really patient with me, stopping every few hundred meters to take pictures. We got home in time and it was a really nice drive with some good conversations. Can totally recommend it!

Excellent day trip. - Tony my guide driver picked me up on time at my hotel. We drove nearly 4 hours to play Pejeta where he did all the game drives (we saw so many animals). Ouch was timed perfectly for when it rained. After lunch we saw the blind rhino and the northern white rhinos (in their compound - cost extra). And then on the way out we saw a pride of lions just chilling by the road. Was an awesome day! Tour is around 16 hours but we’ll worth it!

A must do! - Ol Pejata is worth the trip! I actually organized this tour almost at the last minute during another tour with Perfect Wilderness (the 3-day Masai Mara tour). I was anxious that things might be sold out or that it would be too late but Caren made it work! The team at Perfect Wilderness is excellent and very responsive.
The day tour itself was magical: from hugging a black rhino to riding horses with the last two white rhinos on earth, it was surely a special experience.

An amazing day - well worth the journey - Ol Pejata Conservance is one of the best maintained parks that we saw on our Kenya/Tanzania safari experience. There is an abundance of wildlife and it is possible to get very close to observe them. It was well worth the long journey to and fro from Nairobi.
Our safari guide James, was very helpful and well versed in spotting and identifying the wildlife. The highlight of our tour was the abundance of black and white rhinos and the pair of lions we saw.
All in all, we did 3 day tours with Perfect Wilderness Tours and Safaris (this one, Elephant Orphanage/Giraffe Centre/Nairobi National Park and the day tour to Tarangire National Park from Arusha, Tanzania). All of them were extremely well organized and value for money. We will definitely be travelling back to Kenya/Tanzania and using this tour operator again.
