A week exploring Samburu and Ol Pejeta Conservancy offers a striking contrast of landscapes and wildlife encounters in northern Kenya. In Samburu, dry country scenery frames sightings of animals rarely seen elsewhere, from Grévy’s zebra to long-necked gerenuks, with evenings spent by the river watching crocodiles stir at dusk. Moving south,
Ol Pejeta combines classic savannah drives with close looks at black rhinos and rescued chimpanzees, alongside thoughtful conversations about conservation and human-wildlife conflict. Each day brings a balance of game drives and quieter moments, whether birdwatching, walking near waterholes, or simply pausing to take in the wild setting that defines Kenya’s safari heartlands.

After breakfast, leave Samburu and drive south toward Ol Pejeta Conservancy, arriving in time for lunch at Serena Sweetwaters Camp. The conservancy is known for its role in protecting endangered species, including black rhinos and chimpanzees, and for its open savannah where the Big Five can be seen.
In the afternoon, head out on a game drive to explore the area, with good chances of spotting both common and rare wildlife. Later, join a discussion led by your safari guide on the challenges of human-wildlife coexistence in the region.

Your day begins with an early game drive across the conservancy, where lions, elephants, and rhinos are often seen against the backdrop of Mount Kenya. Ol Pejeta is one of the few places in East Africa where chimpanzees are protected, and visiting their sanctuary adds another layer to the experience.
After returning to camp for lunch, the afternoon offers more time to explore the plains, spotting wildlife that gathers near the waterholes. Serena Sweetwaters Camp blends comfort with a clear view of the surrounding wilderness, and from the deck or lounge you can often watch animals wander in as dusk sets. Dinner is served at camp, rounding off a day immersed in both wildlife and conservation

The morning drive gives another chance to follow tracks across the conservancy, with black rhino often seen grazing in open spaces and large herds of plains game scattered across the grasslands. Guides share insights into the conservancy’s role in protecting endangered species, making each sighting feel connected to a bigger story of conservation.
After lunch at Serena Sweetwaters Camp, the afternoon slows down with time to explore on foot around the camp or simply watch animals arrive at the waterhole just outside. Evenings here are atmospheric, with the glow of lanterns, the sounds of the bush, and a quiet setting that makes the experience both comfortable and close to nature.

After breakfast, enjoy a last short game drive as you leave the conservancy behind, watching the landscape shift back toward the highlands. The drive includes a stop at the bustling Karatina Farmers Market, a lively place to see local produce and trading culture before continuing to Nairobi.
Lunch is arranged on arrival, followed by free time to relax or explore the city at your own pace. If you’re flying out the same day, an airport transfer can be organized directly after the safari. If your flight is the following day, we recommend that you book an extra night in Nairobi.
