Explore this distinctive part of Kenya. The landscapes and wildlife at these two reserves are rich and unique from most national parks.

Day 1

Nairobi – Aberdare National Park: (100 miles – Approx. 3 hours)

Meal plan: Lunch, Dinner.

Depart Nairobi at 0830hrs. Cross the Kenyan Highlands, through pineapple and coffee plantations, to your “base hotel” in time for lunch at Aberdare Country Club. Afternoon you will be transfered into Aberdare national park and on to The Ark Lodge for bird watching and overnight floodlit game viewing from the lodge viewing decks. Ark Lodge, set in the heart of the Aberdare National Park, is a unique tree lodge with a veranda that overlooks a floodlit waterhole and saltlick allowing undisturbed views of wildlife visiting the waterhole. Elephant, rhino, leopard, bushbuck and occasionally an elusive bongo and giant forest hog have been sighted.

Overnight at the Ark Lodge.

Day 2

Aberdare – Ol Pejeta Wildlife Sanctuary (100 mi – Approx. 3 hrs.)

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. 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 Sweetwater’s 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.

Meal plan: Breakfast, lunch, dinner at your pre-booked lodge/camp. 

Day 3

Ol Pejeta – Nairobi (207 km – Approx. 3:30 hrs.)

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.
