The trip, in short
Rhino conservation, Big Five game drives and rescued chimpanzees in one full day from Nairobi — Ol Pejeta and the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary combined.
A full-day round trip from Nairobi to Ol Pejeta Conservancy, home to both black and southern white rhino plus the last two northern white rhinos left on the planet, combined with a visit to Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary — East Africa’s only sanctuary for chimpanzees rescued from captivity and conflict zones.
Long enough to include a proper game drive rather than a rushed drive-through, this trip covers the full Big Five checklist alongside the conservancy’s rhino conservation work and the sanctuary’s rescued chimp troops — a lot of ground for a single day out of Nairobi.
What makes this one special
- Northern white rhino sanctuary (the last two on Earth)
- Black and southern white rhino sightings
- Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary visit
- Big Five game drive inside Ol Pejeta
- Long enough for a proper full-day safari, not a rush
