After a hearty breakfast in camp, we’ll transfer you to the airstrip for your flight to Nairobi. Enjoy aerial views as you leave the acacia-dotted plains of Amboseli behind and soar over Kenya’s cultivated central highlands. On arrival, you’ll be warmly greeted and depart northward with your private car and driver through Kenya’s Central Province, once the colonial-era ‘White Highlands’, now a thriving agricultural region with tea and coffee estates, roadside markets, and gently rolling landscapes. As you near your destination, the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kenya rise dramatically on the horizon—offering a spectacular welcome.
Your destination is the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a 90,000-acre private reserve known for its biodiversity and a leading model for conservation in Africa. Here, sustainable wildlife protection is paired with community empowerment, education, and habitat restoration—initiatives your visit directly supports. Ol Pejeta is home to the Big Five, East Africa’s largest black rhino population, and the only chimpanzee sanctuary in Kenya. Upon arrival at Sweetwaters Serena Camp, settle into your elegant tented suite, complete with modern comforts and views of wildlife-rich plains or the camp’s waterhole. After lunch and time to relax, head out on your first game drive with our expert safari guide. As the golden light settles, you may spot elephants, rhinos, lions, and more. This evening, after dinner, attend an informative lecture by the camp naturalist—a perfect end to a day rich in discovery. Meals: B+L+D
