Nairobi - Ol Pejeta

Your safari begins in Nairobi, where your guide will pick you up and you’ll set off towards Ol Pejeta Conservancy. The drive takes you through Kenya’s central highlands, with beautiful scenery and rural landscapes along the way as you leave the city behind and travel towards the foothills of Mount Kenya.

On arrival, you’ll check in at your accommodation and enjoy lunch before heading out for your first game drive in the afternoon. Ol Pejeta is home to an impressive variety of wildlife, including elephants, lions, buffalo, giraffes and both black and white rhinos. With its open plains and excellent wildlife density, there is always plenty to look out for. It is the perfect introduction to your safari, with plenty of time to explore the conservancy before returning to your accommodation in the evening for dinner and a relaxing night in the bush.

Ol Pejeta Conservancy

Today is dedicated to exploring Ol Pejeta Conservancy and learning more about the important conservation work carried out here. The conservancy plays a major role in protecting endangered species, particularly black and white rhinos, and is also home to the last two northern white rhinos in the world.

During your game drive, your guide will explain more about the conservation projects, anti-poaching efforts and the balance between wildlife protection and local communities. Along the way, you’ll also search for elephants, lions, buffalo, cheetahs and many other species that live within the conservancy. Depending on your interests, additional activities can be added to the itinerary, such as a night game drive, lion tracking, a visit to the chimpanzee sanctuary or other conservation experiences. It is a full day combining excellent wildlife viewing with a deeper understanding of conservation in Kenya.

Ol Pejeta - Samburu National Reserve

After breakfast, you’ll leave Ol Pejeta behind and continue north towards Samburu National Reserve. The drive takes you through changing landscapes as the green highlands gradually give way to the drier, more rugged scenery of northern Kenya. Along the way, you’ll pass small towns, open countryside and increasingly dramatic views as you approach Samburu.

On arrival, you’ll check in at your accommodation and enjoy lunch before heading out for an afternoon game drive. Samburu is known for its striking landscapes and wildlife species that are rarely seen further south, including Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk and Somali ostrich. You may also encounter elephants, lions, leopards and large herds of antelope. Your guide will explore the reserve with you until late afternoon, following wildlife activity along the Ewaso Nyiro River and across the surrounding plains before returning to your accommodation for dinner.
