Next, tour the highlights of Kenya's capital, including visits to wildlife sanctuaries and the Karen Blixen Museum, once owned by Danish Author Karen Blixen. The Oscar winning film ‘Out of Africa’, is based on Karen’s life. 

 

Days 3-5: Explore Ol Pejeta Conservancy & Mount Kenya

2 Nights Sweetwaters Serena Camp & 1 Night Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club

 

Fly to one of East Africa's largest private rhino sanctuaries. Arrive in time for lunch and enjoy sweeping views of the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kenya. Meet your ranger for an afternoon game drive into the reserve and be ready to photograph the wealth of wildlife. Later this evening discover Ol Pejeta Conservancy ‘after dark’ on a once in a lifetime night game drive. With the help of a filtered spot light, keep your eyes peeled for nocturnal animals, like the aardvark, white-tailed mongoose and the elusive leopard.

MAKE TRAVEL MATTER Experience:  Start your morning tracking and gathering vital research information on the lions of Ol Pejeta. It is a wonderful way to learn about lions. All the information gathered is passed on to the Ol Pejeta Ecological Monitoring Department. Ol Pejeta is a refuge to several endangered species, including Kenya's only chimpanzee sanctuary, established to rehabilitate animals rescued from the black market. Top off the day with a tree planting exercise. Can you think of a better way to leave your footprints in Africa?

Cap off your day with a traditional sundowner as you marvel at views of the beautiful Samburu bush. Visit a local Samburu village for a chance to interact with Samburu people and get a glimpse into their culture, unique way of life and learn first hand some of their traditional customs and practices.

Days are filled with morning and afternoon game drives and delicious dining otions.
