5 Days Samburu & Ol Pejeta Conservancy Safari

Your safari begins with an early morning pick-up in Nairobi. Travel north across Kenya’s stunning landscapes, passing by Mt. Kenya on your way to Samburu National Reserve. Arrive at your lodge or tented camp in time for lunch, followed by a short rest.

In the late afternoon, head out on your first game drive to explore the rugged Samburu terrain. Spot elephants along the Ewaso Nyiro River, predators like lions or leopards, and the rare Samburu Special Five. Return for dinner and overnight stay.

Spend a full day exploring Samburu’s unique ecosystem. After breakfast, venture out on morning and afternoon game drives, with a break for lunch and relaxation at your camp. Samburu is home to the Grevy’s zebra, beisa oryx, gerenuk, reticulated giraffe, and Somali ostrich—species found only in this northern region.

Enjoy the dramatic scenery of acacia-dotted landscapes and the winding Ewaso Nyiro River, which attracts a wide range of wildlife. Capture incredible photography opportunities before returning to camp for dinner and overnight stay.

After an early breakfast, depart for Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Laikipia. Arrive at your lodge in time for lunch and a short rest.

In the afternoon, enjoy a game drive within this renowned conservancy, which is home to the largest population of black rhinos in East Africa, as well as the last two northern white rhinos on the planet. Visit the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only place in Kenya where you can see these primates. End your day with dinner and overnight stay at the conservancy.

Spend the entire day exploring Ol Pejeta Conservancy with morning and afternoon game drives. Spot lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos, and rhinos—the complete Big Five—alongside cheetahs, wild dogs, and plentiful antelopes.

Learn about conservation initiatives at Ol Pejeta, including anti-poaching efforts and community projects. With its exclusivity and fewer crowds compared to other parks, Ol Pejeta offers intimate wildlife encounters. Return to your lodge in the evening for dinner and overnight stay.

After breakfast, check out from your lodge and enjoy a leisurely drive back to Nairobi. Arrive by early afternoon, with a drop-off at your hotel or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your onward journey.

Your 5 Days Samburu & Ol Pejeta Big Five Safari comes to an end, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Kenya’s rare wildlife and conservation success stories.
