Does this safari visit Mount Kenya National Park?

No. Both nights are at Ol Pejeta Conservancy. Mount Kenya may be visible during the highland road journey and from the area when conditions allow. Mountain park entry, hiking and a summit programme are not included.

Are the northern white rhino and chimpanzee visits included?

Yes. The northern white rhino visit and standard Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary visit are included. The rhino visit needs a confirmed conservancy session and follows its age and animal-care rules; children under five are not admitted to that specialist visit. The available day and time are confirmed in advance for your safari. The chimpanzee behind-the-scenes experience is a separate activity and is not included.

Are specialist tracking and night drives included?

No. The included drives are ordinary conservancy game drives. Specialist rhino monitoring, lion tracking and night drives are separate from this programme. Any additional private activity needs its own confirmed arrangements and quotation; a standard shared-vehicle activity is not part of this private safari.

When does the safari return to Nairobi?

Day three includes a final morning game drive, breakfast, checkout and the road return. There is no guaranteed midday arrival. The return time depends on the lodge, departure arrangements, stops, roads and traffic. Agree onward flight or other timed connections before booking them.

Overview

Travel from Nairobi to Ol Pejeta Conservancy for a private three-day safari with two nights in Ol Pejeta accommodation confirmed for your dates. Your party has a choice of a private Land Cruiser 4×4 or safari minivan and an English-speaking guide. Budget, Mid-Range and Luxury accommodation options are available; the property, room and vehicle selection are confirmed in your quotation for the dates and party. Different options may have different prices. The programme includes scheduled game drives, the northern white rhino visit and Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary.

Both nights are at Ol Pejeta, leaving day two for the conservancy rather than another road transfer. Mount Kenya is a possible scenic backdrop on the highland journey; no Mount Kenya National Park entry or mountain trek is included, and mountain visibility depends on the weather.

The northern white rhino visit is included in your safari, with its session confirmed in advance under conservancy access and animal-care rules. The specialist visit does not admit children under five. Day and session availability must be confirmed for your dates. Game drives provide opportunities to observe wildlife without guaranteeing sightings.

Day 01 :

Nairobi to Ol Pejeta Conservancy

The safari leaves Nairobi in the morning and travels through the central highlands towards Nanyuki and Ol Pejeta Conservancy. The journey introduces the highland landscape, with Mount Kenya visible as a scenic backdrop when the sky is clear. After arrival and settling into the accommodation, the first afternoon game drive explores Ol Pejeta’s wildlife habitats from the private safari vehicle. The guide introduces the conservancy and its conservation setting while the party watches for wildlife across the permitted driving routes. The day ends with the first of two Ol Pejeta overnight stays. The safari also includes the northern white rhino visit during the stay, at an allocated conservancy session with a keeper-led briefing and viewing in the designated area.

Day 02 :

Full Day Ol Pejeta Game Drives and Chimpanzee Sanctuary

Morning and afternoon game drives provide a full day exploring Ol Pejeta, with time to observe wildlife behaviour and revisit different parts of the conservancy rather than move on to another destination. The guide leads both vehicle-based sessions, interpreting the animals and habitats encountered along the route. The included Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary visit forms part of the day’s programme, introducing the sanctuary and its resident chimpanzees through the standard visitor experience. This combines a primate-focused visit with the conservancy’s wider wildlife-viewing programme. The northern white rhino session takes place during the stay at the time allocated by the conservancy. The party returns to the accommodation for the second Ol Pejeta overnight stay.

Day 03 :

Ol Pejeta to Nairobi

The final morning begins with one more game drive at Ol Pejeta, adding a last wildlife-viewing session before the return to Nairobi. The guide follows a conservancy driving circuit, with opportunities to watch the morning activity of the animals encountered and photograph the surrounding landscape. After the drive, the party returns to the accommodation for checkout and leaves the conservancy in the private safari vehicle. The southbound journey passes back through the central highlands to Nairobi, completing the safari after two nights at Ol Pejeta, its included conservation visits and the scheduled game drives.
