Kenya
Ol Pejeta
The Stables at Ol Pejeta Conservancy offers a unique budget safari experience within the world-renowned 110,000-acre conservancy in Laikipia County, Kenya. Originally built to house horses for the previous owner, Adnan Khashoggi, The Stables has been converted into comfortable, no-frills lodging for travelers seeking an affordable wildlife adventure.
Insider Tips:
The campfire area is an excellent spot for evening relaxation and socializing with other travelers.
For the best wildlife viewing, plan your visit during the dry seasons (June to September or January to February).
The Stables' location within the conservancy allows for quick access to morning game drives, giving you an advantage over visitors staying outside the park.
For budget-conscious travelers, consider visiting in October. During this month, rates are typically lower, yet wildlife viewing remains good, offering excellent value for money.
