Day 1

Departure to the Sweetwaters Sanctuary

Your journey begins with a private drive from Nairobi, heading north through the fertile central highlands and vibrant pineapple plantations. You arrive at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy and check into the Sweetwaters Serena Camp in time for a gourmet lunch. The camp is famous for its luxury tents that overlook a busy floodlit waterhole, offering a front-row seat to wildlife viewing from your private veranda. In the afternoon, you embark on your first game drive across the open plains of this private reserve. Ol Pejeta holds the highest density of black rhinos in East Africa and is one of the few places where you can spot all of the Big Five in a single drive. As the sun sets behind Mount Kenya, you return to the camp for an elegant dinner at the Rhino Restaurant followed by an evening of quiet relaxation.

Day 2

Tracking Rhinos and Chimpanzee Rescue

You'll spend a full day exploring the diverse habitats of the conservancy. After an early breakfast, you will visit the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only place in Kenya where these primates can be seen in a natural riverine environment. Your guide will explain the rescue efforts that brought these animals from West and Central Africa. You continue your drive to the northern white rhino enclosure to learn about the groundbreaking science being used to save the species from extinction. During the afternoon, you enjoy a game drive focusing on the unique predators of the region, including lions, leopards, and cheetahs. You may also spot the rare Grevy's zebra and Jackson’s hartebeest. You'll conclude your day with an optional night game drive to see aardvarks and caracals, followed by a celebratory bush dinner today.

Day 3

Sunrise Safari and Journey to Nairobi

Greet the dawn with a final early morning game drive, the best time to see the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kenya clearly. You'll watch the savannah come alive as the first light hits the plains, catching the predators before they retreat into the shade for the day. This is also a fantastic time for birdwatching, with over 300 species recorded in the conservancy. After a hearty breakfast at the camp, you will begin your scenic drive back to Nairobi. A final farewell lunch will be served at a scenic hotel along the route. You will arrive in the city by late afternoon for a drop-off at your residence or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your international departure. This 3-day safari provides a deep connection to conservation and leaves you with unforgettable memories of Kenya’s wildlife.
