Ol Pejeta is a home to only 3 of the world’s last remaining northern white rhinos; also a sanctuary to critically endangered 105 black rhinos. This Conservancy has employed highly trained rhino protection guards. And they also have partnered with international veterinary experts to ensure the survival of these endangered animals.

Starting from/returning to your Nairobi area hotel, private residence or the airport. We’ll pick you up at 5:00 am for a full-day safari in the comfort of a standard pop-top safari 4 jeep.

Ol Pejeta Conservancy is a  private wildlife reserve that has so many wonderful features you won’t want to leave! Just a few hours from Nairobi you can find all the big five – lion, buffalo, elephant, leopard and rhino. But what makes Ol Pejeta even more exciting is this reserve features the highest density of predators in Kenya.

You’ll have a very good chance of seeing lion, cheetah, hyena and the rare African wild dog. And a guarantee you’ll see rhinos and chimpanzees in the famous animal sanctuaries hosted in this 365 sq.km (141 sq.mi) reserve.

Formerly a cattle ranch, Ol Pejeta now serves as a protected space for many species including rare black and white rhinos and rescued chimpanzees. You’ll also find a long list of not-so-common African wildlife like the aardvark and bat-eared fox in this amazing park.

Tour Itinerary

Natural World Kenya Safaris will pick you up at your hotel or location of choice at 5:00 am to begin our eventful day. On the way to Ol Pejeta, we’ll point out traditional Kenya coffee and tea plantations. Weather permitting, you’ll also enjoy views of Mt. Kenya and its snow-capped summit.

The drive is relatively short, only 3 – 4 hours. It’s the closest place to Nairobi where you’ll be able to view all of Africa’s Big Five. The reserve is home to six prides of lions, close to 80 in all, plus about 30 cheetahs.

You’ll have opportunities to spot many typical East Africa wildlife like giraffe, vervet monkey, baboon, hippo, impala, gazelle, dik-dik and zebra.

The Rhino Sanctuary

Ol Pejeta is known for its heroic efforts at saving endangered and threatened wildlife. The rhino sanctuary here hosts 100 black rhinos, the largest protected population in East Africa. Also, of note, the last two northern white rhinos left in the world live in this protected enclave.

This special enclosure is open to visitors twice a day, at 8:30 hrs. and at 16:00 hrs (Not possible to visit the Northern White Rhinos while on a day trip)

Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary

This is the only place in Kenya where you’ll be able to enjoy these loving and intelligent creatures. Here at the sanctuary, orphaned and abandoned chimps are rescued and nursed back to health.

When they’ve been rehabilitated, the chimps are introduced to large natural enclosures where they can live and play freely.

More to Do and See at Ol Pejeta

Adding to the diversity of this special sanctuary you’ll also find some little-seen, unique wildlife such as the tree hyrax, white-tailed mongoose, black-fronted duiker, mole rat, bushbuck, waterbuck and eland.

And all of this under the shadow of great Mt. Kenya, towering over the park.

If you wish, you can also visit a local Masai Village. See and experience up close Masai culture, cattle raising and the creation of their bright fabrics and jewelry. Your guide will be happy to arrange this visit for an optional fee.

Your Guide. For your  journey, you’ll be guided, hosted and looked after by your own experienced driver/guide.

Transportation between parks and game viewing will be in a private 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep – this vehicle is the safari standard with its higher seating and rugged all-wheel drive.

Starting from/returning to Nairobi area hotels. We’ll pick you up from your hotel or from the airport at 6:30 am. Your tour will be in the comfort of a private pop-top safari minivan.

Get ready for a day of unmatched Kenyan experiences you won’t find anywhere else on the planet. From a wild animal park within sight of downtown Nairobi to a sanctuary where orphaned baby elephants are bottle-fed.

We’ll bring you to a giraffe reserve where you just might get kissed by a long, green giraffe tongue. And we’ll visit the homestead of a famous African legend. Nairobi offers surprises and encounters that define what travel is all about.

This is a full day of touring and Natural World Kenya Safaris will pick you up early – 6:30 am to begin the adventure. The first stop – perhaps the most unique national park in the world. Within minutes of your hotel and the city of Nairobi, you’ll be quickly transported to a scene of animals roaming in the wild – Nairobi National Park. This is just the first stop in a day filled with unexpected wonders.

Nairobi National Park

So close to the city its skyscrapers fill the horizon, you’ll find yourself on a broad savannah, home to lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino, giraffe and many more. These are the wildlands of Nairobi National Park, Kenya’s very first reserve.

On your game drives here, just 10km (6m) south of the city, you’ll be on the watch for hyena, impala, ostrich and over 400 species of birds. Most incredible of all, the park hosts zebra and wildebeest moving through this wild space in an epic great migration.

David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage

*Pre -Booked Tour based on availability (Additional charges may apply for entrance fees)*

Please inquire for more information 

Within the borders of the park lies perhaps the most special animal sanctuary in the world. We’ll visit this unique reserve where rescued baby elephants are saved and nursed back to health. Feeding time is at 11:00 am and we’ll be there to enjoy the sight of dozens of these babies feeding from enormous milk bottles.

Feeding is followed by bath time as the tiny elephants roll about and cavort in giant mud baths. And all of this… just a few short feet from you.

Now it’s your lunchtime, so take your choice of dining at the Karen Blixen Coffee Garden or the world-famous Carnivore restaurant.

Karen Blixen Museum 

If you’ve read the book or seen the movie, “Out of Africa”, you are already familiar with the life of writer, planter and legend Karen Blixen. If not, you’ll learn all about Blixen in her home on this beautiful homestead at the foot of the Ngong Hills.

Here Blixen established a coffee plantation in colonial Africa. The museum features artifacts from her life as well as props from the classic movie which was shot close by.

Giraffe Centre

Our tour continues to thrill at this refuge for the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe where you can climb the high platform and try your hand at feeding one of the towering creatures. Some lucky visitors here have even gotten a giraffe kiss!

The grounds include an Information Centre and Nature Trail where you can see warthogs, birds and more. The Centre is also a favorite of Kenya’s schoolchildren, and you’re sure to spot plenty of them as well.

Kazuri Beads

This is a fitting end to a day highlighting Kenya’s creative enterprises. Combining imagination, artistic vision and the desire for self-sufficiency, Kazuri has become a thriving business where single mothers learn the skills and expertise to support themselves while creating beautiful beaded jewelry.

Watch as these colorful beads are fashioned right before you, and then enjoy the gift shop where you can help support this remarkable organization.

This very full day ends approximately at 6:00 pm as we transport you back to your hotel, the airport or destination of your choice.
