Your driver/guide will pick you up from your Nairobi hotel, residence, or Nairobi airport.
Our journey will take us over the central Kenya highlands, and we’ll make stops to visit local coffee and tea plantations.
One special stop we’ll make is at Katrina, to visit and explore the largest open-air market in East Africa.
The deep greens of the forests at Aberdare National Park will greet your arrival as will the cool climate and mountain breezes.
Here you’ll have your choice of the park’s Tree Hotels for your overnight stay. From your balcony, you can relax as you watch the wildlife below, drawn to the waterhole located there.
The park hosts a variety of animals – elephants, rhinos, hyenas, baboons, monkeys, buffalo, warthogs, and the elusive leopard.
If you’re lucky you might spot a rare giant forest hog, a bongo (large antelope), or African wild cat.
You’ll spend the night at the lodge of your choice.

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 several 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 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.
You’ll stay at Ol Pejeta at the safari lodge or tented camp of our choice.

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.
We should arrive in Nairobi in the late afternoon. We’ll drop you off at your hotel, residence, or the airport
