Overview
This itinerary ventures beyond the
national parks into private conservancies
that offer a more exclusive and intimate
safari experience. With a focus on
conservation and low-impact tourism,
you’ll enjoy activities rarely possible in
public parks: night game drives, guided
bush walks, and off-road driving. The
highlight is tracking endangered rhinos on
foot in the foothills of Mount Kenya,
followed by the vast landscapes of
Laikipia and the wildlife-rich Ol Pejeta
Conservancy.
