The Asilia camp far exceeded our expectations! The staff is fabulous, food is amazing and our “tent” was filled with all the comforts of home and then some!! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and we saw the big five within our first 24 hours!! Hippos, water buffalo, gazelles, elephants, and so much more right from the deck where you eat your meals!!! It’s very much like an adult camp in the best way possible because you don’t have to think about anything! Meals, activities, safari drives and even down times are set up for you and totally make sense. Sit with the group and have interesting conversations with people from all over the world or choose solitude with meals at a private table. It’s all good! We would definitely go back and highly recommend!!

Ol Pejeta Bush Camp is amazing! The property is great and the staff take such incredible care of you. We spent three nights here and couldn't recommend it more for a memorable safari.

We’ve been looking forward to traveling to Ol Pejeta Bush Camp for some time — the commitment to conservation and social impact are what drew us to this camp and Asilia. All of our expectations were met and exceeded! The Ol Pejeta Bush Camp team was a warm welcome that felt like home, just a bit more luxurious (yes, even in a bush camp!) the feeling that Sushil and William have cultivated within the team and camp were palpable, feeling like a warm hug from an old friend. The small but mighty team did not miss a single detail from pre-arrival to post-departure. Naloise, Duncan and Jonathan attended to every need in camp and lovely to chat with. All meals (wake up coffee, breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, sundowner snacks and dinner) were delicious, and we never had to worry about being hungry between meals! Cyrus was our outstanding guide — his passion for nature and knowledge of the conservancy and ALL wildlife was unmatched. The car was never silent as we searched the conservancy for new sightings. Sun downers and bush breakfasts with Cyrus were a highlight of our stay. The open vehicle was very comfortable, clean, and spacious with lots of room to place drinks, cameras, and other equipment. The conservancy is a smaller eco-system area (500 square kilometers) compared to larger ecosystems like Mara-Serengeti but very healthy and in our 3 nights we never felt like we were retracing our steps. Our drives were busy from start to finish, packed full of sightings of animals and birds, so much so that we were often running a little behind as we found so many exciting sights on our return to camp (like a striped hyena). There are also experiences hosted by the conservancy (the northern-white rhinos and the canine anti-poaching unit) that were a great place to learn more about the amazing work that is being done by the conservancy. The Bush camp is sitting on a river bend which was also full of sightings from the main area and guest tents — you could spend an entire afternoon at camp enjoying wildlife in one of many comfortable chairs, couches or lounges. The new deck was expansive, a great extension of the main area, where communal meals and bonfires were enjoyed. The guest tents were well appointed, once you closed the zipper you forgot you were in a tent - newly pipped water has taken the place of bucket showers. The camp runs off of solar power, but Our stay was indeed authentic and followed the ethos of the Asilia company while also providing 5 star service in a bush-style camp.

We absolutely loved this place and highly recommend it. The tents are very comfortable and private and provide all conveniences like 24/7 hot water, bedside electrical/USB connections for charging, wifi, toiletries, bug repellant etc. You meet at the common area for meals and drinks. The food is on the level of a fine restaurant, as is the service. The staff is exceptional. They eat with you, help you in every way, and ensure safety and satisfaction. We had private game drives twice a day. The guide we had (Duma) was so remarkable. We loved him and his love and respect for what he was doing. But it goes way beyond that. All staff show incredible respect for the land and animals. The place is full of love. And we felt it. I hope to have the chance to go back. Thank you!!

Intimate camp, strategic location, and the staff is just awesome! The food was amazing, and I couldn't thank them enough for accommodating vegan choices. The location is just perfect... seeing a rhino just walking in front of my tent while enjoying a coffee at sunrise was a precious moment! Thank you, Sushil, Anthony, and your amazing staff.
