About this tour

1 Day Ol Pejeta Conservancy and Sweetwaters Day Trip

Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Laikipia is home to the last two northern white rhinos in the world. The 1 Day Ol Pejeta Conservancy and Sweetwaters trip gives you a close look at the conservation work protecting them.

You visit the rhino and chimpanzee sanctuaries and go on a game drive across open plains with views of Mount Kenya and a chance to see the Big Five. The drive is about three and a half hours each way, so expect an early start. Transfers, conservancy fees, drinking water and a professional guide are included.

Day by day

Detailed itinerary

Your driver-guide collects you from your Nairobi hotel very early and drives north past Mount Kenya into Laikipia, about three and a half hours, reaching Ol Pejeta in the morning.

A game drive across open plains that hold all of the big five, with Mount Kenya on the eastern horizon. The day includes the endangered species enclosure, home to Najin and Fatu, and a visit to Baraka, the blind black rhino, who can be fed under supervision. The Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only one in Kenya, cares for chimpanzees rescued from the black market.

After a final game drive and lunch you start back south past Mount Kenya, reaching Nairobi in the evening. If you would rather not do it in a day, we can arrange an overnight at Sweetwaters Tented Camp instead.
