Laikipia Plateau, Kenya

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, and is presently home to the last two northern white rhinos on earth. As a base from which to explore this wowing wilderness, and as a bastion of low-key luxury, Tambarare can’t be beaten.

THE SAFARI EXPERIENCE

The Safari Experience at Tambarare Camp

Sip coffee on your private deck at sunrise, and more than likely catch the first wildlife sightings of the day, as elephants and giraffes gather at the waterhole near camp (it’s a popular drinking spot in every season). Cameras at the ready for the morning game drive – it’s not unusual to see six species in one frame in the abundant, acacia-dotted Ol Pejeta Conservancy, from rhinos and warthogs to buffaloes. Tambarare Camp is known for all the activities it offers, so as well as visiting the headline act – the last two northern white rhino in the world – you might be helping rangers to monitor the lion population or seeing how effective the anti-poaching dog unit is at hunting down a target. It’s an easy drive back to camp for a delicious lunch of crunchy salads plucked from the vegetable garden, before further activities such as guided bush walks or visiting the local community to learn about the conservancy’s work first hand. After sundowners in the conservancy, head back to camp for a dinner of succulent beef supplied by Ol Pejeta farmers, and round off an action-packed day with a nightcap in the open-plan lounge.

Meet the last two northern white rhino

Come face to face with Najin and Fatu, which are among the animals protected at the 90,000-acre Ol Pejeta Conservancy


Visit the anti-poaching dog unit

These floppy-eared bloodhounds are surprisingly friendly yet also brilliant at hunting down a target


Lion tracking

Head out in a 4x4 with a ranger to help monitor Ol Pejeta’s lion population – another way in which guests can learn about the conservation efforts here


Feel like you’re part of nature

The camp’s boma overlooks a popular waterhole so there are constant sightings of elephants, buffaloes, giraffes and more no matter the season

Perfectly peaceful haven in a pioneering conservation area

With just 10 opulent tented suites and a Private Villa set deep in the award-winning Ol Pejeta Conservancy among 90,000 acres of prime African plains, Tambarare Camp is the area’s most luxurious and exclusive camp. Pitched among fever trees in the shadow of Mount Kenya, the camp reflects a profound respect for nature with its thoughtful low-impact design that doesn’t skimp on wow-factor.

Strategically located to face a favorite gathering place for an extraordinary variety of game, it is a place where guests can enjoy drinks or dinner while revelling in widescreen views of buffaloes, zebras, rhinos, elands, and other species grazing on the plains. And with so few guests, an intimate experience is guaranteed. The main tent is lined with comfortable sofas and chairs to encourage relaxation and reflection, and its adjoining Boma Bar is just the setting for a well-earned sundowner and the sharing of stories.

The camp’s colours and textures are inspired by nature, from sun-bleached wood and wicker lampshades to exuberant fabrics and striking colour-pop portraits of Samburu women. With their polished teak floors and locally sourced objects, the individually decorated tented suites have a boutique-meets-bush style that puts a contemporary spin on Golden Age grandeur. Ultimately you will find Tambarare to be a peaceful haven that reflects its surroundings – with first class service and a generous helping of indulgence.

A prized sanctuary for endangered species

Home to an enormous array of wildlife, the 90,000-acre Ol Pejeta Conservancy – on the dramatic Laikipia Plateau, reached in about five hours from Nairobi – offers a range of day and night safaris, lion tracking, and guided bush walks. The protected rhino sanctuary that houses the last two northern white rhinos is also home to the largest black rhino population in East Africa, and the plains beyond are a haven for endangered species, the Big Five, and more than 500 bird species.
