You can get to Ol Pejeta Conservancy by road or by air, with both options offering easy access from Nairobi. The conservancy lies in Laikipia County, roughly 200 km north of Kenya’s capital. Travellers driving from Nairobi take the A2 highway through Thika, Sagana, Karatina, and Nanyuki before reaching Ol Pejeta’s main gate via a well-marked turnoff. The journey typically takes 3.5–4.5 hours, depending on traffic and road conditions.
For travellers who prefer a faster route, scheduled flights operate daily from Wilson Airport in Nairobi to Nanyuki Airport, a short 25–30-minute hop. From Nanyuki, it is a 30–40-minute road transfer to Ol Pejeta, with transfers easily arranged through safari operators or lodge vehicles. This option is ideal for guests connecting multiple northern conservancies such as Lewa, Borana, or Samburu.
Self-drive visitors should note that Ol Pejeta has several gates, including Rongai Gate, Serat Gate, and Airstrip Gate, each offering access to different lodges and activity areas. Most guests arrive through Rongai Gate, which is closest to Nanyuki town.
Once inside, well-maintained roads lead to wildlife-rich plains, the rhino sanctuary, the chimpanzee enclosure, and viewing areas along the Ewaso Nyiro riverbanks. Booking with a safari operator ensures seamless transport, gate payments, and guided game drives that reveal Ol Pejeta’s unique biodiversity.
