RHINO LEGACY: A 4-DAY OL PEJETA CONSERVANCY FLY-IN SAFARI

You will have an early pick up from your Nairobi hotel (or the Nairobi Airport) and begin your journey to Ol Pejeta Conservancy. With a short and clear briefing, you will be transferred to Wilson Airport for your flight to Nanyuki. Upon landing, you will be picked up by the accommodation vehicle (Serena Sweetwaters) and drive back to the camp for check in and relaxation. After lunch at the camp, make the trip to familiarize yourself with the conservancy’s abundant wildlife. During the game drive, make a visit to the Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only one of its kind in Kenya, where orphaned chimpanzees are secured and rehabilitated. Also, you will get to meet Baraka, the blind Rhino who lost one eye in a rhino fight and another to cataracts in his later years. You will get to feed and touch him during this encounter (with caution as wild animals are unpredictable). Return to your lodge to freshen up and have dinner, then onto an exhilarating Night game drive to experience the park after dark(7-9pm/ 9-11pm). You will then return for an overnight at the camp.

An early morning Lion tracking activity awaits you, beginning at 6:30 am – 8:30 am. (You can either have an early or late breakfast depending on your preference). You may return to the lodge to freshen up before embarking on a morning game drive through the conservancy. Around mid-morning/early afternoon (11:00 am – 12:00pm), you will get to meet Najin and Fatu, the mother and daughter pair and the last two Nothern White Rhinos remaining in the world. You will have the option of either a picnic lunch within the conservancy or a hot lunch back at the camp. Enjoy a short afternoon game drive, before engaging in a Rhino monitoring and Identification activity between 3:30 – 5:30 pm. After a long and exciting day, head back to camp for a relaxing evening, freshen up and enjoy dinner before turning in for the night.

Enjoy a slow morning and a leisurely breakfast, before confronting the day’s activities. Head out for your first activity of the day, Dog tracking, beginning at 8:30 am. Afterwards, enjoy a drive through the conservancy and experience its rich flora and birdlife, an addition to the wildlife you will encounter. Experience a Behind-the-scenes encounter with the Chimpanzees at their sanctuary at 11:45 am – 12:45 pm. After a stop at the camp for a hot lunch break and a siesta, nothing brings a calm excitement like a Guided Bush/Bird Walk at around 3:30 – 5:30 pm. Return to the camp to freshen up after your 2-hr walk and enjoy a lovely dinner, before calling it a night.

Wake up to a leisurely breakfast, before saying your goodbyes to the Nanyuki central highlands. The accommodation vehicle will drop you at the airstrip for your flight back to Nairobi. Upon landing at the Wilson Airport, our representative will meet you for a short de-brief of your experience. You will then proceed for a complimentary (early) lunch and they will present you with our specially curated eco-friendly complimentary gifts. You will then be dropped at your hotel or the airport with heartfelt warmth. Ciao for now!
