Itinerary

Nairobi – Aberdare National Park

Leave Nairobi for the cool highlands of Aberdare, a misty forest home to elephants, leopards, and the rare bongo. Enjoy lunch at Aberdare Country Club, then transfer to The Ark Lodge, perched above a floodlit waterhole. As night falls, watch herds of elephant, buffalo, and hyena gather below from the comfort of your deck.

Aberdare – Ol Pejeta Conservancy

Descend from the forested highlands to the vast plains of Ol Pejeta, Kenya’s premier rhino sanctuary and home to the last two northern white rhinos. After lunch, enjoy an afternoon game drive teeming with elephants, lions, and giraffes. Visit the Chimpanzee Sanctuary before ending the day with a golden-hued bush sundowner.

Ol Pejeta – Full-Day Safari

Set out at dawn for a full day in Ol Pejeta, where sweeping plains reveal prides of lions, roaming elephants, packs of wild dogs, and one of East Africa’s largest rhino populations. Picnic in the wild keeps you close to nature. As dusk falls, opt for a thrilling night game drive to seek elusive creatures—aardvark, bat-eared fox, and the stealthy leopard.

Ol Pejeta – Nairobi

Begin the morning with a final game drive, keeping watch for rare Grevy’s zebra and elegant oryx grazing the savannah. After breakfast at camp, bid farewell to the wilds of Laikipia and journey back to Nairobi, arriving by mid-day—your safari memories of rhinos, chimpanzees, and highland forests still fresh and unforgettable.
