4 Days Northern Kenya Safari

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 conservancy also hosts a large population of black rhinos, the Big Five, and the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only place in Kenya where you can see rescued chimpanzees.

Located in Kenya’s arid northern frontier, Samburu National Reserve is a land of stunning landscapes and unique wildlife. 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.
