Highlights
Nairobi National Park: Visit the Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage in Nairobi National Park and watch orphaned elephants arrive for their midday milk feed and mud bath. As each elephant is introduced, you’ll hear its story and see one of Nairobi’s best-known wildlife conservation visits at close range.
Ol Pejeta: Head into Ol Pejeta Conservancy in the late afternoon, when the softer light shifts across the plains and wildlife begins to stir. Your game drive follows the rhythms of the landscape, from acacia woodland to open grassland, before pausing for a sundowner in the bush, with time to take in the wide views and stillness of the conservancy.
Ol Pejeta: Visit Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only place in Kenya where chimpanzees can be seen. Opened in 1993, it provides refuge for chimpanzees rescued from the illegal wildlife trade and reveals another side of Ol Pejeta’s conservation work, where long-term care, rehabilitation and protection remain at the centre of the sanctuary’s mission.
Lake Naivasha: Head out onto Lake Naivasha by boat, where calm freshwater, rich birdlife and resident hippos shape one of the Rift Valley’s most distinctive wildlife experiences. Watch the lake at close range as fish eagles circle overhead and hippos surface through the water, revealing a side of Kenya that feels very different from the open plains of safari.
Maasai Mara National Reserve: Head into the Maasai Mara for an afternoon game drive across wide grasslands and riverine forest shaped by the Mara River. As the light begins to soften, this celebrated reserve reveals the scale and richness of one of Africa’s great wildlife landscapes, with the chance to look out for big cats, plains game and the Big Five.
Maasai Mara National Reserve: Head out across the Maasai Mara on game drive, where wide grasslands, riverine forest and the Mara River shape one of Kenya’s best-known wildlife reserves. As you explore, look out for the Big Five and the rich concentration of species that makes the Mara such an important part of the country’s safari story.
