Beyond these iconic species, the conservancy is home to rare and endangered animals, including Gravy’s zebra, Rothschild giraffe, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich, and gerenuk. Bird lovers will enjoy over 400 species, from colorful kingfishers and hornbills to majestic eagles soaring above the plains. Ol Pejeta also houses a unique Chimpanzee Sanctuary, where rescued chimps are cared for in a protected environment.

Take a relaxing lunch break at the lodge or a scenic picnic site, enjoying the panoramic views and the serenity of the African wilderness. In the afternoon, embark on another game drive, visiting waterholes and open plains to spot wildlife in different habitats and observe their natural behaviors.

Return to Nairobi in the evening, completing a full day of exploration, education, and unforgettable wildlife encounters. This safari offers a perfect combination of conservation awareness, rare wildlife sightings, and immersive East African landscapes, making it a highly rewarding day trip from Nairobi.
