Nairobi to Samburu National Reserve

Our driver-guide from the company will pick you up from the airport or your city accommodation and take you on a scenic drive to Samburu National Reserve, which is located in the north. During the drive, you will pass through the fertile highlands of Kenya, famous for its vibrant agricultural economy of tea and coffee.

You'll stop at the equator line for a demonstration of the north and south, and to use the bathrooms before continuing on your journey to Samburu. You'll arrive in time for lunch. In the afternoon, you'll go on your first game drive. This will be an opportunity to witness the amazing wildlife conservation haven, famous for an abundance of rare species of animals, such as the Gravy zebras, Somali ostrich, Reticulated giraffes, gerenuks, and the beautiful oryx. You'll also learn about the cultural heritage of the Samburu people, who are known as the butterfly people. Finally, you'll retreat to the camp at sunset.

Day 3

Fairmount to Nairobi via Ol Pejeta

Fairmount to Nairobi via Ol Pejeta

After enjoying a leisurely breakfast, you will undertake a short drive to reach Ol Pejeta in good time to begin your game drive. The first part of the game drive will involve a visit to the chimpanzee sanctuary. Following this, you will explore the park, which is home to a large population of black and white rhinos, as well as giraffes, gazelles, elephants, lions, cheetahs, and numerous other animals.

Ol Pejeta is the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa and is home to two of the world's last remaining northern white rhinos. It is also the only location in Kenya where you can observe chimpanzees. The sanctuary was established to rehabilitate animals rescued from the black market. After leaving the park, you'll head to Nairobi with a lunch stopover at the renowned Trout Tree restaurant, arriving back in Nairobi late in the evening. You will then be dropped off at the airport or your preferred location, marking the end of your safari.
