Moranis restaurant

A unique culinary gem in the heart of the wild.

About Us

Morani's Restaurant is more than just a place to eat; it is a tribute to the legacy of Morani, the beloved rhino ambassador of Ol Pejeta. Tucked conveniently at the Information Centre, it serves as the ultimate halfway house for adventurers exploring the 90,000 acre conservancy. The restaurant’s signature open-air veranda offers diners a front row seat to a salt lick and waterhole, where wildlife including the "Big Five" frequently wander by.

The menu is a celebration of local flavors, featuring the famous "Morani Burger" a masterpiece of grass fed Ol Pejeta beef, melted cheese, and crispy bacon. For those seeking lighter fare, the kitchen prepares fresh garden salads, gourmet wraps, and homemade tagliatelle. It is also a premier destination for coffee enthusiasts, offering everything from classic Kenyan espressos to specialty hazelnut cappuccinos.

Beyond the dining experience, guests can explore the adjacent Information Centre to learn about rhino conservation or browse the curated gift shop for handcrafted curios and Ol Pejeta branded gear. Whether you are stopping for a quick caffeine boost before a game drive or booking a private "Sundowner Package" to watch the African sun set with a cocktail in hand, Morani’s provides a soulful connection to the Laikipia wilderness.
