With Kenya Horizon Safaris, enjoy expertly guided game drives, comfortable accommodations, and seamless logistics for an unforgettable journey.
Day 1: Nairobi to Aberdare National Park
Your safari begins with a morning departure from Nairobi as you head toward Aberdare National Park. This unique park is located in the central highlands of Kenya and is known for its misty mountain forests, waterfalls, and diverse wildlife. The drive takes you through the fertile farmlands of central Kenya, offering a glimpse of local life before entering the lush, green park.
Upon arrival, check in at your lodge or camp. After lunch, enjoy an afternoon game drive in Aberdare National Park. This park is home to a variety of animals, including elephants, buffaloes, lions, and the elusive bongo, a forest-dwelling antelope. Aberdare’s cool climate and diverse ecosystems make it a haven for wildlife and birdwatchers alike. As night falls, return to your accommodation for dinner and relaxation, with the sounds of the forest providing a peaceful backdrop.
Day 2: Explore Aberdare National Park
Start the day with an early morning game drive, taking advantage of the cool morning hours when wildlife is most active. Aberdare’s lush forests, rolling hills, and river valleys provide a beautiful setting for wildlife viewing. Keep an eye out for rare species such as the giant forest hog and the elusive leopard, as well as large herds of elephants and buffaloes.
In the afternoon, enjoy some downtime at your accommodation or take a guided walk through the park to learn about the region’s flora and fauna. You may also opt for a visit to the famous Treetop Lodge, where you can observe animals from a unique vantage point as they come to drink at a nearby waterhole.
Day 3: Aberdare to Ol Pejeta Conservancy
After breakfast, begin the journey to Ol Pejeta Conservancy, located in the Laikipia Plateau. This 90,000-acre conservancy is a model of successful wildlife conservation and offers the rare opportunity to see both endangered species and abundant wildlife.
Upon arrival, settle into your lodge or camp within Ol Pejeta. After lunch, enjoy an afternoon game drive, where you can spot rhinos, lions, giraffes, zebras, and a host of other animals. Ol Pejeta is also home to the famous Sudan, the last male northern white rhino, offering a unique opportunity to witness efforts to save this critically endangered species.
Day 4: Explore Ol Pejeta Conservancy
Spend the day exploring the vast landscapes of Ol Pejeta Conservancy. Go on morning and afternoon game drives, with the chance to visit the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary—home to rescued chimpanzees from West Africa. This sanctuary is one of only a few places in the world where you can see these fascinating primates in a natural setting.
You may also opt for a visit to the rhino sanctuary to learn more about conservation efforts to protect these incredible creatures. As the day draws to a close, enjoy a sundowner in the conservancy, taking in the breathtaking views of the savannah as the sun sets over the plains.
Day 5: Morning Game Drive and Return to Nairobi
On your final day, enjoy one last morning game drive in Ol Pejeta Conservancy before returning to Nairobi. Capture any last-minute wildlife sightings and savor the tranquility of the conservancy.
