Your journey kicks off with an early morning departure from Nairobi at 5:30 AM. Enjoy the changing landscapes as you drive through Kenya’s fertile highlands, past coffee and tea plantations, and toward the shadow of snow-capped Mount Kenya. Arrive at Ol Pejeta Conservancy by mid-morning and immediately begin your first game drive. Traverse open plains and riverine forests as you scout for elephants, lions, rhinos, buffalos, and even elusive leopards. Your expert driver-guide will navigate through the best wildlife zones, maximizing your chances of amazing sightings and photo ops.

By late morning, head to the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only place in Kenya where you can see rescued chimpanzees in a naturalized habitat. Spend time observing their unique behaviors and learning how they were saved from the illegal pet trade. Then, drive to the enclosure that houses the last two northern white rhinos, Najin and Fatu—an emotional and humbling moment in wildlife conservation history.

Pause for lunch at the Ol Pejeta Serena Sweetwaters Camp (or enjoy a packed picnic at a designated site), soaking in the view of the surrounding plains and distant mountain peaks. In the afternoon, continue your game drive with chances to see rare species like the Grevy’s zebra or spot scavengers like hyenas and jackals.

Wrap up your visit with a stop at the Morani Information Centre, where you’ll engage with educational displays on anti-poaching efforts and meet rangers who protect this precious ecosystem. Depart Ol Pejeta around 4:30 PM for the return drive to Nairobi, arriving by 8:30 PM, with your camera full of memories and your heart stirred by nature’s wonder.
