5-Days Samburu and Ol Pejeta

Begin your adventure departing from Nairobi in the early morning. As you journey northwards, witness the landscape gradually transition from the urban sprawl to the untouched wilderness of Kenya. Along the way, marvel at the scenic beauty of the Great Rift Valley and the majestic Mt. Kenya. Arrive at Samburu National Reserve by mid-afternoon. After settling into your chosen accommodation, embark on an evening game drive, introducing you to the unique wildlife of the region, which includes species such as the Grevy’s zebra and the long-necked gerenuk. Enjoy a sumptuous dinner under the African sky.

Rise early for a morning game drive, when the animals are most active. Witness the magic of the African sunrise and observe predators returning from their nocturnal hunts. After brunch, relax at your camp or lodge, perhaps taking advantage of any offered amenities like a pool or spa treatment. As the heat of the day wanes, embark on another game drive in the late afternoon, capturing sunset moments and spotting nocturnal animals as they begin their nightly routines. Return to your accommodation for dinner and an optional night safari or cultural performance

After a hearty breakfast, bid farewell to Samburu and head towards the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. Nestled at the foothills of Mount Kenya, Ol Pejeta is renowned for its efforts in rhino conservation. Check into your accommodation upon arrival and, after some rest, dive into an afternoon game drive. Here, you’ll get a chance to spot the Big Five and appreciate the conservancy’s work, especially at the Chimpanzee Sanctuary. As darkness approaches, enjoy a dinner, possibly accompanied by stories shared around a campfire.

Another day dawns with opportunities to explore the vastness of Ol Pejeta. Consider booking specialized activities, like a walking safari or a behind-the-scenes visit to the rhino sanctuary. Spend your morning engaged in these experiences or on traditional game drives. After a relaxed afternoon, head out for an evening game drive, watching as the conservancy comes alive with nocturnal activities. To wrap up your day, enjoy another delightful dinner at your accommodation.

On your final day, opt for an early morning game drive to catch your last glimpses of the conservancy’s wildlife. After breakfast, pack up and begin your journey back to Nairobi. The drive offers a chance to reflect on your incredible adventure and the memories made. Arriving in Nairobi by late afternoon or early evening, this marks the end of your 5-day safari experience.
