Nairobi to Ol Pejeta Conservancy

Equator Marker - Depart Nairobi at 6:30 am and enjoy a 2.5-hour drive to Nanyuki town, arriving at 9 am. Here, take a break at the equator crossing, an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Capture a memorable photo at the large equator sign. Continue for another 15 minutes to reach the entrance gate.

On a clear day, you may also catch a glimpse of Mount Kenya from this point.

Ol Pejeta Conservancy - Begin the first game drive, lasting 3.5 hours, exploring the northern side of the expansive conservancy to see chimpanzees and other wildlife. Arrive at Serena Sweetwaters Lodge by 1 pm, where you can observe animals visiting the watering hole in front of the lodge while photographing the resident monkeys. Enjoy lunch and embark on an afternoon game drive en route back to Nanyuki.

Drive to the park’s eastern side to visit Baraka, a blind rhino, and see the three Northern white rhinos roaming freely in their large enclosure. Conclude the game drive at 4 pm and start the journey back to Nanyuki.

Nanyuki to Samburu National Reserve

Samburu National Reserve - After breakfast, depart Nanyuki for Samburu.

It is also home to all the African big cats (lion, cheetah, and leopard), as well as other big game including elephants, buffaloes, warthogs, hippos, impalas, waterbucks, and many more.
