Ol Pejeta & Samburu
Embark on an unforgettable safari adventure to Ol Pejeta Conservancy and Samburu National Reserve, two of Kenya’s most diverse and wildlife-rich destinations. This journey offers a blend of conservation, unique wildlife, and stunning landscapes, making it ideal for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers.
Ol Pejeta Conservancy is a renowned wildlife sanctuary dedicated to conservation and sustainable tourism. It is home to the last two northern white rhinos in the world, offering visitors a rare chance to learn about rhino conservation.

The Ewaso Nyiro River, the reserve’s lifeline, attracts a wide variety of animals, making for spectacular game-viewing experiences. Samburu is famous for hosting species rarely found elsewhere, including the Samburu Special Five: Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, and gerenuk.
