After an early breakfast we will head north to the bustling town of Nanyuki and to the wildlife haven of Ol Pejeta Conservancy. This is your chance to see the ‘Big Five’, so keep your eyes open and cameras poised!

Ol Pejeta Conservancy is a privately owned wildlife reserve and is home to a host of African wildlife. It’s famous for sightings of the ‘Big Five’. Its rhino population is world famous and it undertakes a number of local community projects including infrastructure for schools, healthcare and clean water for local communities. Ol Pejeta is also home to the last of the Northern White Rhino. If you fancy a close encounter with these gentle giants, just let us know!

At Ol Pejeta, we’ll stop at Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, which provides a lifelong refuge to both orphaned and abused chimpanzees from West and Central Africa. The sanctuary is home to just over 30 chimpanzees, who live in natural enclosures. You’ll also get to meet some of the first chimps rescued by the Jane Goodall Institute.
