Your Kenyan safari for the day begins at 6:00 AM, when we pick you up from your Nairobi hotel or the airport in a comfortable 4x4 Land Cruiser. As you drive north, the landscape opens into rolling hills, coffee estates, and expansive views of Mount Kenya. You’ll stop briefly at the Equator line in Nanyuki — a fun and iconic moment for photos and a short Coriolis demonstration.
Upon entering Ol Pejeta Conservancy, your adventure unfolds with a guided game drive across its rich savannahs, home to the Big 5, including some of East Africa’s highest rhino populations. You’ll visit the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, a beautiful refuge for rescued chimps where you’ll learn about their rehabilitation journey.
After your wildlife encounters, enjoy a delicious picnic lunch surrounded by the peaceful African bush. In the afternoon, continue with a final game drive, searching for lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalo herds, and endangered species unique to Ol Pejeta.
