07:30 hrs. – Your driver/guide will pick you up from your Nairobi hotel, residence or Nairobi airport.
We’ll head out in our 4 x 4 Jeep for the Ol Pejeta Sanctuary. We’ll be traveling through Laikipia County toward the Aberdare/Mt. Kenya area, passing numerous farms along the way.
We’ll stop at coffee and tea plantations for a closer look and time permitting a local market.
Our route takes us directly across the equator and we’ll take a moment to stop and enjoy this unique spot, straddling the hemispheres.
At Ol Pejeta you’ll be amazed by the diversity of wildlife. Endangered rhinos plus the Big Five are all here as well as giraffe, hippo, impala, gazelle, zebra, jackal, hyena… even monkey and baboon.
This is also home to the Sweet waters Chimpanzee Sanctuary within the reserve. It’s a place where rescued chimps are cared for and given free rein within their natural habitat. It’s the only place in Kenya where you can observe these playful and intelligent primates.
The sanctuary also features an endangered species enclosure. It’s big enough to go on a game drive and within its boundaries, you’ll spot rhinos and other rare animals like Grevy’s zebra and Jackson’s hartebeest.
