Escape the city and dive straight into the wild with our unforgettable Ol Pejeta full-day adventure — a thrilling, full-day safari from Nairobi to one of Kenya’s most iconic and conservation-driven private reserves.
Nestled on the Laikipia Plateau, at the foot of snow-capped Mount Kenya, Ol Pejeta Conservancy offers one of the most immersive wildlife experiences in East Africa. It’s home to all members of the Big Five — lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo — and is internationally recognized for its cutting-edge conservation efforts.
At the heart of the conservancy lies a powerful story: Ol Pejeta is the last refuge of the northern white rhino. Only two individuals remain in the world, both of them female — Najin and Fatu — and both live under 24/7 armed guard in a protected enclosure you’ll visit on this tour. These rhinos are living symbols of hope and resilience, and efforts are underway to save the species using advanced reproductive technology.
That’s not all — Ol Pejeta is also home to the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only place in Kenya where you can see rescued chimpanzees in a natural, open environment.
Expect thrilling game drives across golden savannahs, up-close encounters with elephants and lions, and an inspiring glimpse into real-life conservation. Whether you’re visiting Kenya on a short stay or simply need a quick break from city life, this Ol Pejeta day trip experience from Nairobi is one of our best day excursions — the perfect combination of adventure, education, and impact.
