In addition to close elephant watching some of the other activities which are possible from Ol Kanjau camp include, day and night game drives through the plains of Amboseli, bush walks, bird watching in the vast wetlands and swamps of Amboseli and the woodlands. The Rainy have a special and unique relationship with the Maasai allowing for visits to neighboring Maasai settlements. For a real thrill guided walks with habituated baboon troops. You'll also get an inside view into the on going conservation ecology studies which help balance the needs of pastoral people and wildlife and ecosystem conservation.

Special Feature: Mike and Judy Rainy, their daughter Jessica and son-in-law Jeff Worden, are conservationists and ecologists who uniquely provide the ideal base in Amboseli from which one may observe and share in the lives of these most magnificent elephants. The Rainys and Wordens combine ecotourism and conservation science in a very special way that helps visitors play a part in securing a long term future for these elephants in Amboseli. Their goal is to help secure an area that can grow with the expanding Amboseli elephant population, and which can also accommodate the needs of the Maasai pastoral people who own the land around Amboseli Park. Ol Kanjau Camp reveals in very special way the ecological, behavioral, and conservation patterns of animal lives to a visitor that can take a few days to appreciate, observe and wonder about the accumulation of natural history information that the Rainys and Wordens and many other have taken decades to build.
