After breakfast, we’ll exit Aberdare Park and head north with views of Mt. Kenya, the country’s highest peak. As we journey to Ol Pejeta we’ll travel through the farmland of central Kenya, passing local homesteads. There are six resident prides of lions at Ol Pejeta and many of our guests are lucky to spot them.  The park also hosts a number of cheetah and leopards. Also, unique here, packs of African wild dogs. You’ll also find giraffe, impala, gazelle, zebra, hippo, monkey, and baboon throughout the sanctuary. But of special note, Ol Pejeta hosts and harbors a uniquely large population of black rhinos in a specially protected game corridor. And perhaps one of the most unique facilities in East Africa is the park’s Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary. Here you’ll view rescued chimps being nourished back to health and living freely in their natural habitat. It’s the only place in Kenya where you can see and enjoy these lively creatures.

The early morning light is beautiful at Ol Pejeta and we’ll take advantage of the time and the moment, with a game drive viewing the stirring wildlife. We’ll enjoy breakfast and then it’s time for our drive back to Nairobi.
