Experience two of Kenya’s most unique wildlife destinations on this 4-Day Ol Pejeta Conservancy and Samburu National Reserve Private Safari from Nairobi.
This safari combines the remarkable conservation success of Ol Pejeta Conservancy with the rugged beauty of Samburu National Reserve, giving you the opportunity to enjoy incredible wildlife, beautiful scenery, and fewer crowds than many of Kenya’s popular parks.
Your adventure begins at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, one of East Africa’s leading wildlife conservation areas. The conservancy is home to the Big Five, Kenya’s largest population of endangered black rhinos, and the famous Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary—the only place in Kenya where rescued chimpanzees can be seen.
From Ol Pejeta, continue north to Samburu National Reserve, a spectacular wilderness where the life-giving Ewaso Nyiro River attracts elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, and many rare northern Kenya species. Samburu is especially famous for the Samburu Special Five: the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, gerenuk, and Somali ostrich.
Travel in a private 4×4 safari Land Cruiser with your own experienced driver-guide and enjoy personalized game drives, comfortable accommodation, and unforgettable wildlife encounters throughout your safari.
This safari is ideal for travellers looking for something beyond Kenya’s traditional safari circuit.
Ol Pejeta offers an exceptional conservation experience with endangered black rhinos and the country’s only chimpanzee sanctuary, while Samburu introduces you to rare northern wildlife found nowhere else in Kenya.
The combination of conservation, wildlife, dramatic scenery, and fewer crowds creates a truly unique safari experience.
Your safari begins with a morning pick-up from your hotel, residence, or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi.
Meet your Trek Afrika Adventures driver-guide and travel north through Kenya's beautiful central highlands.
Along the way, enjoy scenic views of coffee farms, tea plantations, pineapple farms, and the impressive slopes of Mount Kenya, Africa's second-highest mountain.
