SAFETY AND HOW TO GET THERE;
Ol ari Nyiro is a secure, partially fenced, private estate and wildlife sanctuary where total privacy is guaranteed. We are far from towns and communications are difficult. Three private licensed airstrips are part of the estate. The distance from Nairobi is 300 km and takes four hours by car or one hour by air.

Transport can be arranged at a cost. Although all reasonable precautions are taken to ensure visitors safety, and the place is covered by general accident insurance, wild animals are unpredictable and can be dangerous, and this is a piece of wild African bush, with steep ravines and untamed nature.

We advise visitors to be independently insured for health and accident and signing of a waiver is compulsory.
