About this activity

Spend a full day at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, one of Kenya's premier wildlife reserves, combining guided game drives to track the Big Five—including the critically endangered black rhino—with a visit to the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary. This small-group tour offers intimate wildlife encounters and conservation impact in a single day from Nairobi.

Visit the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary and experience a game drive to spot Africa's 'Big Five' (endangered black rhinos, leopards, elephants, buffaloes and lions) within the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, on this small group, full-day tour from Nairobi.

Highlights

  • Track Africa's Big Five: black rhinos, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and lions
  • Visit Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary to observe rescued primates
  • Guided game drive through pristine savanna habitat
  • Learn about rhino conservation efforts at one of Africa's leading sanctuaries
  • Small-group experience for personalized wildlife viewing

Insider tips

  • Bring binoculars and a camera with zoom capability—wildlife viewing depends on luck and distance; early morning hours offer the best animal activity
  • The conservancy is 11 hours round-trip; plan for an early start from Nairobi to maximize game-drive time during peak wildlife viewing hours
  • Ask your guide about black rhino tracking specifically—Ol Pejeta protects one of the world's last populations; sightings aren't guaranteed but guides know the best viewing zones
  • Wear neutral, earth-toned clothing to blend into the landscape and avoid startling animals

Good to know

  • Bring sun protection: hat, sunglasses, high-SPF sunscreen, and light layers—temperatures vary significantly between early morning and midday
  • Comfortable closed-toe walking shoes and binoculars are essential; the tour involves both vehicle-based and potentially short walks
  • Packed lunch typically included; confirm dietary requirements when booking
  • Roads are unpaved; expect a bumpy ride. Not suitable for those with severe mobility issues, though vehicles have shock absorption

Best time to visit

Visit during the dry seasons (June–October or January–February) when animals congregate around water sources, making wildlife spotting more likely. Early morning departures maximize sightings, as wildlife is most active before midday heat.
