Tambarare Camp
There is a particular magic and majesty about the wide-open, gently rolling yet ruggedly dramatic landscape of the Laikipia Plateau, in central Kenya. In relatively recent times the region has become well known for its high-profile conservation initiatives, enjoying particular success with its rhinoceros population. The 90,000-acre Ol Pejeta Conservancy – in which Tambarare Camp is located – has played a key part in this success. (It is presently home to the last two white northern rhinos on earth.) As a base from which to explore this splendid wilderness, and as a bastion of low-key luxe, Tambarare can’t be beat.
The wow-factor of its location in the 90,000-acre Ol Pejeta Conservancy
Abundant wildlife: the Big Five are all here, the last two northern white rhinos among them
An exceptionally wide variety of activities beyond the usual safari fare
Delightfully unobtrusive, unpretentious yet thoroughly spoiling tented accommodation
An outrageously cute little Boma Bar for sundowners
Setting
Ol Pejeta Conservancy occupies 90,000 acres on the Laikipia Plateau – more or less in the middle of the country, adjacent to Mount Kenya. The equator runs through it, but its high-ish altitude (mostly 1,500 metres or so above sea level) means it is relatively mild and temperate. In Maa, the language of the Maasai, Laikipia means “treeless plain” – though it shouldn’t be taken literally. The Laikipia Plateau is in fact a ravishingly beautiful expanse of broad, undulating plains, rolling hills and scattered inselbergs (dramatic freestanding rocky outcrops
Enhance your stay with these extraordinary experiences
The unique combination of Tambarare’s location, landscape and habitat make possible a number of activities not frequently associated with the safari experience, including lion-tracking, horseback riding and cycling. And of course there’s the opportunity to see the last two remaining white northern rhinos on earth.
Game Drives and Night Drives
Expert-led game drives in the early morning and late afternoon take you directly into this extraordinarily biodiverse habitat. Rhinos are the stars of the show (and among the easiest to spot), but Ol Pejeta is also home to a tremendous variety of species, large and small. There is also the opportunity to venture out after dark on night game drives in search of nocturnal species, such as the aardvark, white-tailed mongoose, zorilla (striped polecat) and bat-eared fox.
Bespoke Bush Walks
Nothing quickens the senses quite like a stroll in the African wilderness. And because Tambarare Camp is located within a private conservancy, guided walks are not merely possible but strongly recommended.
Rhino Encounters
Ol Pejeta has a worldwide reputation for its rhinoceros-conservation and translocation initiatives. Don’t miss the opportunity while you’re at Tambarare to get up close and personal with the last two northern white rhinos on earth and hear their incredible story.
Lion-Tracking
The careful monitoring of Ol Pejeta’s lion population is an ongoing project; guests at Tambarare can accompany rangers and actively help protect these big cats
K9 Unit
