Design

Cuisine

The dining experience at Ol Jogi is exquisite with the resident French chef having worked at the property for decades with his own private gardens growing fresh ingredients. Lunches are an informal affair with inventive salads and meats whilst dinner is more sophisticated in grandeur.  Surprise bush lunch and dinners will be put on throughout your stay where you can feast on gourmet meals overlooking the breath-taking landscapes.

Wildlife and Activities

This private conservancy is home to impressive wildlife, including the Big Five and the endangered African wild dogs and black rhinos. During your stay you will be free to explore the great plains whenever and however you so please via foot, jeep, or horseback accompanied by expert guides and rangers. Between game excursions to your own private landscape head down to the glorious pool hidden in tropical jungle plants to cool off and relax or if you fancy a more energetic activity, head to the tennis or squash court or use the gym facilities. The Moroccan inspired spa is also available to ensure you can escape to a serene and tranquil environment and end the day with a relaxing massage or spa treatment.

Sustainability

Ol Jogi Wildlife Conservancy aims to create an economically sustainable African conservation model, with wildlife at the forefront. The property provides employment for 300 local staff and has established a school for the children of its staff making it the only one of its kind on any Kenyan conservancy.

Its extensive CSR programme improves local livelihoods and on top of this Ol Jogi generates local support for its conservation initiatives by demonstrating that wildlife sustains the Ol Jogi Wildlife Conservancy as an entity
