Ol Kanjau Tented Safari Camp

Kilimanjaro looms into the sky; a jutting monolithic piece of earth that guards the lands silently from a terrific height. Ol Kanjau Tented Safari Camp is at the foot of this massive mountain, amongst superb wildlife and conservation area. Located midway between the forests of Kilimanjaro and the perennial swamps of Amboseli Park, Ol Kanjau provides you with the perfect location for exceptional wildlife experience. Ol Kanjau Tented Safari Camp is a luxury camp providing you with superb accommodation.

Accommodation at Ol Kanjau Tented Safari Camp consists of:

The light structure of the tents, while keeping you fully accommodated with everything you need, acts as a translucent vale to nature, one that connects you to the living nature, while keeping you secure in your tent. Ol Kanjau hosts are the camp owners, Mike and Judy Rainy. They first visited Amboseli 37 years ago when they began what has become a lifelong interest in how the pastoral people of East Africa and their livestock interact with wildlife and natural ecosystem processes. They are perfectly placed to give you the African hospitality and service and information and interesting facts to make your holiday the perfect African experience.

The Amboseli elephants are the oldest and biggest individuals left on the continent since they have been so well protected from poachers, drought and humans. The Greater Amboseli Ecosystem, within which Ol Kanjau Tented Safari Camp lies, is often referred to as the Kilimanjaro heartland by conservationists. African Elephants are studied well here. Their lives, ecology and behaviour are so fascinating; majestic, huge animals with high intelligence.

In 2006, 274 African bird species and 50 African mammal species were identified in the vicinity of Ol Kanjau Tented Safari Camp. The local people are an interesting culture to interact with and learn from: the pastoral Ilkisongo Maasai give greater Amboseli its distinct cultural richness. The Maasai people are the principal landowners of greater Amboseli and the traditional custodians of the area's wildlife wealth which they refer to as "our cattle outside our bomas."
