What is the route and overnight allocation?

The four-day road safari has one Samburu night followed by two Ol Pejeta nights, then returns to Nairobi.

Are the northern white rhino and chimpanzee visits included?

Yes. The northern white rhino experience and standard Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary visit are included. The rhino visit requires a booked permitted session; no sessions operate on Tuesdays and children under five are not admitted. The session can move within the Ol Pejeta stay. Visitors use the designated viewing area and follow keeper instructions. The chimpanzee visit is the standard sanctuary visit; a behind-the-scenes experience is a separate activity.

How does the guided walk operate?

The included Ol Pejeta bush or bird walk uses the conservancy’s authorised guiding arrangements and permitted route. Private-party arrangements, guide allocation and participant eligibility must be confirmed before booking confirmation. The selected walk’s briefing determines the route, pace and participation requirements.

Does this programme include a night drive or specialist tracking?

No. This programme does not offer wild-dog tracking, den visits or a night drive.

Which accommodation and vehicle options are available?

Budget, Mid-Range and Luxury accommodation and a Land Cruiser 4x4 or Safari Minivan are available. The selected dates, party and package determine the quotation. Private specialist-service arrangements must be confirmed before booking.
