Itinerary - Daily Safari Information

Day 1: Arrive Nairobi

Arrival at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport Nairobi where you will be met by our Safari representative and transferred to your Nairobi hotel. Check in and pre-safari briefing.

Meal Plan: Bed and Breakfast
Accommodation: Radisson Blu Hotel, Nairobi Upper Hill

After breakfast, depart Nairobi at 7:00 am and drive north towards Nanyuki and the foothills of Mount Kenya. The journey takes approximately 4 hours, passing through the changing landscapes of central Kenya, with views of the agricultural highlands and, weather permitting, Mount Kenya.

Arrive at Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club in time for check in and lunch. The property is situated within the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy, providing a scenic setting overlooking Mount Kenya and the surrounding countryside.

After lunch and a short time to settle in, depart for your afternoon game drive at Ol Pejeta Conservancy at 2:00 pm.

Ol Pejeta is one of Kenya’s most important wildlife conservation areas and is the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa, with a significant population of critically endangered black rhinos. The conservancy is also home to the world’s last two northern white rhinos and has one of the highest densities of wildlife in the region, making it an exceptional destination for both wildlife viewing and conservation experiences.

During the game drive, visit the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only place in Kenya where you can see rescued chimpanzees. Spend about 30 – 45 minutes observing these highly intelligent primates as they play, groom, and relax in their spacious, semi-wild enclosures. You will have an opportunity to learn about the sanctuary’s work, the individual chimpanzees and the challenges facing these endangered great apes.

Continue with an afternoon game drive through the conservancy, exploring the open plains and woodland areas in search of black and white rhinos, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, antelopes and, with luck, some of the predators found within the conservancy. The high concentration of rhinos makes Ol Pejeta particularly rewarding for wildlife photography.

As the sun begins to set over Mount Kenya, the landscape is bathed in golden light, creating perfect conditions for photography and wildlife viewing.

Wrap up our drive by 6:00 pm, and begin making our way towards the conservancy’s exit, allowing sufficient time to leave before the gates close. Drive back to the hotel for dinner and overnight stay.
