Discover the untamed beauty of Northern Kenya on this unforgettable 4-day safari from Nairobi, combining two of the country’s most distinctive wildlife destinations: Ol Pejeta Conservancy and Samburu National Reserve. Journey north from Nairobi into dramatic semi-arid landscapes, where the Ewaso Ng’iro River sustains elephants, lions, leopards, and the rare “Samburu Special Five”—Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, gerenuk, and Somali ostrich.
At Ol Pejeta, set beneath the foothills of Mount Kenya, enjoy close encounters with endangered rhinos and visit Kenya’s only chimpanzee sanctuary, while learning about leading conservation efforts. With expert-guided game drives, comfortable safari accommodation, breathtaking scenery, and meaningful wildlife experiences, this short but immersive safari offers the perfect escape into Kenya’s wild north.
