One-Day Tour

• Wake up early, have breakfast and get picked up from your hotel or location of choice at 5:00 am to begin our eventful day.
• On the way to Ol Pejeta, enjoy the scenic roads lined with traditional Kenya coffee and tea plantations. Weather permitting, you’ll also enjoy views of Mt. Kenya and its snow-capped summit.
• The drive is relatively short, only 3 – 4 hours. It’s the closest place to Nairobi where you can possibly view all of Africa’s Big Five. You’ll have opportunities to spot many typical East Africa wildlife like the Northern giraffe, vervet monkey, baboon, hippo, impala, gazelle, dik-dik and zebras.
• The rhino sanctuary at ol pejeta hosts 100 black rhinos, the largest protected population in East Africa. Also, of note, the last two northern white rhinos left in the world live in this protected enclave in Ol pejeta . This special enclosure is open to visitors twice a day, at 8:30 hrs. and at 16:00 hrs (Not possible to visit the Northern White Rhinos while on a day trip due to the timing factor).
• The Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary is the only place in Kenya where you’ll be able to enjoy these loving and intelligent creatures. Here at the sanctuary, orphaned and abandoned chimps are rescued and nursed back to health. When they’ve been rehabilitated, the chimps are introduced to large natural enclosures where they can live and play freely. Adding to the diversity of this special sanctuary you may also find some little-seen, unique wildlife such as the tree hyrax, white-tailed mongoose, black-fronted duiker, mole rat, bushbuck, waterbuck and eland.
• If you wish, you can also visit a local Masai village See and experience up close Masai culture, cattle raising and the creation of their bright fabrics and jewelry. Your guide will be happy to arrange this visit for an optional fee.
