4-Day Samburu and Ol Pejeta Safari with Chimpanzee Sanctuary

• Pick up and drive to Samburu on the south bank of the Uaso Nyiro River, north of the Equator. Some of the animals and vegetation here are a little different from those commonly found in the south.
• Relax for a few minutes and then proceed for the evening game drive, which will bring you to the elephant bedroom tower. The Uaso Nyiro River cuts through this reserve, drawing a large population of Kenyan animals to the park. The river bustles with activity from its huge population of Nile crocodiles. The reserve's topography is mainly open savannah grassland with acacia trees, forest, thorn trees, and grassland clusters. Samburu Reserve was one of the two areas where conservationists George and Joy Adamson raised Elsa the Lioness. Their story was made famous by the bestselling book and award-winning movie 'Born Free'. Other Kenyan wildlife present in the park includes cheetahs, lions, elephants, buffalo, and hippos. The elusive Kenyan leopard is also often known to visit the park, especially in the evenings.

• After breakfast, enjoy a morning and an afternoon game drive exploring this amazing game reserve. It offers a refreshing experience, as the park is not heavily populated and not many people visit here. It is home to the Big Five - elephant, lion, rhino, leopard, and buffalo - as well as gerenuk, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, Gravy Zebra, Besia Oryx, endangered wild dog, and the endangered Pun cake tortoise. There are over 450 species of birds identified here, along with aquatic species in the Waso Nyiro River, including vultures, kingfishers, marabous, bateleurs, guinea fowl, Somali ostriches, and others. Birdlife is as plentiful as wildlife at Samburu National Reserve, which boasts over 350 different species of birds.
• Return to the camp or lodge for dinner and overnight.

• After breakfast, drive to Ol Pejeta Sanctuary and arrive at the camp for lunch.
• Enjoy an afternoon game drive, where the combination of amazing wildlife and stunning views across the open plains of Ol Pejeta guarantees an unforgettable safari experience.
• Visit the Chimpanzee Sanctuary, a charming haven established by the Jane Goodall Institute to provide sanctuary to orphaned chimps, as well as the specially protected and fenced refuge of black rhino with its impressive forty specimens.
• Go on a game drive in the park, where you could see reticulated giraffe, common or Burchell's zebra, African elephant, Cape buffalo, warthogs, waterbucks, Jacksons hartebeest, lion, cheetah, leopard, steinbok, striped hyena, suni, Thomson's gazelle, and impala. Over 500 species of birds have been recorded here, including the ostrich.
