Departure to the Sweetwaters Sanctuary

Your journey begins with a private drive from Nairobi, heading north through the fertile central highlands and vibrant pineapple plantations. Arrive at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy and check into the Sweetwaters Serena Camp in time for a gourmet lunch. The camp is famous for its luxury tents that overlook a busy floodlit waterhole, offering a front-row seat to wildlife viewing from your private veranda. In the afternoon, embark on your first game drive across the open plains of this private reserve. Ol Pejeta holds the highest density of black rhinos in East Africa and is one of the few places where you can spot all of the Big Five in a single drive. As the sun sets behind Mount Kenya, return to the camp for an elegant dinner at the Rhino Restaurant followed by an evening of quiet relaxation.

Sunrise Safari and Journey to Nairobi

Watch the savanna come alive as the first light hits the plains, catching the predators before they retreat into the shade for the day. This is also a fantastic time for birdwatching, with over 300 species recorded in the conservancy. After a hearty breakfast at the camp, you will begin your scenic drive back to Nairobi. A final farewell lunch will be served at a scenic hotel along the route. You will arrive in the city by late afternoon for a drop-off at your residence or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your international departure. This 3-day safari provides a deep connection to conservation and leave you with unforgettable memories of Kenya’s wildlife.
