点评:If anyone is looking for a safari camp with a difference, Ol' Pejeta is your place! I did one week on the ICE programme and learnt so much. It was a true once in a lifetime experience that I will treasure. The staff are incredibly friendly and you can tell they all truly care for what they do. This slice of heaven is working on projects that really are helping the planet and its inhabitants. The ICE programme gives you an insight to the hard work that goes on here, gives you a chance to help out and feel you are trying to do your bit.
Ol' Pejeta is living proof livestock and nature can live hand in hand and benefit each other incredibly. The staff are desperately trying to reverse the damage we have done to our planet. Beef cattle and the wild can live together and the world should adopt this project to prevent deforestation and extinction. It's easy to read online about animals becoming functionally extinct and totally extinct but to see it first hand is a different story. I came to Ol' Pejeta to try and help out somewhere and do my bit for the animals we have caused deviation to. I met the last two Northern White Rhinos, helped clean their bedrooms and shovel their poop and it was an absolute pleasure to do so. Seeing an animal with my own eyes on the brink of extinction because of poching is heartbreaking. The work Ol' Pejeta is trying to do for these two girls is mind-blowing and I wish to visit again and hopefully next time I come there are more than 2 NWR there.
Our guide was Tom and driver Patrick and they both made the experience incredible, I cannot thank them enough.
I'd also like to add they cater for dietary requirements amazingly, I am vegan and there was another vegan there as well plus my partner making 3 of us and the food was absolutely incredible, they managed to veganise traditional Kenyan dishes to give us a taste of their way of life, I will miss this food once home .
All in all Ol' Pejeta was just incredible, all animals we encountered were so healthy, well apart from the Zebra the Lions caught haha. We saw two different pride of lions, elephants everywhere, Zebras everywhere, Hyena, eagles, Pumbas, mongooses, Hippos, giraffes literally everything.
Solomon from Hippo Hide did our bush walk and the knowledge he has on animal tracking, plants, poop is awe inspiring, he could tell what animals were near us from their footstep sounds!!
The K9 dog unit was a pleasure to be with, the made tracing and tracking so much! We helped clean and groom the dogs and then I was hunted by them!
We did lion tracking and rhino monitoring and tracking and this was also incredible.
Without the staff here having so much pride in what they do I wouldn't have had a single idea of the work that goes in here, preserving nature and its inhabitants.
I will be back here and I cannot wait !
I can't thank Ol' Pejeta enough for the experience I had this week.
翻译:如果有人想找一个与众不同的狩猎营地,Ol' Pejeta 就是你要找的地方!我参加了一个星期的 ICE 项目,学到了很多东西。这是一次真正千载难逢的经历,我会珍惜的。工作人员非常友好,你可以看出他们都真正关心自己的工作。这片天堂正在开展的项目确实在帮助地球及其居民。ICE 项目让你了解这里的艰苦工作,让你有机会提供帮助,并感受到你在努力尽自己的一份力量。
Ol' Pejeta 是活生生的证明,牲畜和自然可以携手共存,相互受益。工作人员正拼命扭转我们对地球造成的破坏。肉牛和野生动物可以共存,世界应该采用这个项目来防止森林砍伐和灭绝。在网上很容易读到关于动物功能性灭绝和完全灭绝的消息,但亲眼目睹则是另一回事。我来到 Ol' Pejeta 试图提供帮助,为那些因我们而受到影响的动物尽一份力。我见到了最后两只北方白犀牛,帮忙打扫它们的卧室,清理它们的粪便,这样做绝对是一种乐趣。亲眼看到一种动物因为偷猎而濒临灭绝,真是令人心碎。Ol' Pejeta 为这两个女孩所做的工作令人震惊,我希望再次访问,希望下次我来的时候那里有超过 2 个 NWR。
我们的导游是汤姆和司机帕特里克,他们俩都让我们的体验变得难以置信,我对他们感激不尽。
我还想补充一点,他们非常乐意满足饮食要求,我是素食主义者,那里还有另一个素食主义者,加上我的伴侣,我们三个人,食物绝对令人难以置信,他们设法将传统的肯尼亚菜肴素食化,让我们品尝他们的生活方式,回家后我会想念这种食物的。
总而言之,Ol' Pejeta 真是太不可思议了,我们遇到的所有动物都很健康,除了狮子抓到的斑马哈哈。我们看到了两个不同的狮群,到处都是大象、斑马、鬣狗、鹰、普姆巴斯、猫鼬、河马、长颈鹿,几乎什么都有。
Hippo Hide 的 Solomon 带我们进行了丛林漫步,他对动物追踪、植物、粪便的了解令人惊叹,他可以从脚步声中判断出我们附近有哪些动物!!
K9 犬队很愉快,他们做了大量的追踪和跟踪工作!我们帮助清洁和梳理狗,然后我被他们追捕!
我们进行了狮子追踪和犀牛监测和追踪,这也令人难以置信。
如果这里的工作人员没有对他们的工作如此自豪,我根本不知道这里的工作,保护自然及其居民。
我会再来这里的,我迫不及待了!
我非常感谢 Ol' Pejeta 为我这周带来的体验。
