Day 1

On arrival into Nairobi, you will be met & transferred to Wilson Airport for your flight to Nanyuki. You will be met at the airstrip and transferred to Porini Rhino Camp, located in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. Lunch and afternoon tea in camp and then head off to look for rhino with your driver-guide in the camp’s 4x4 safari vehicle. Return to Porini Rhino Camp for dinner and overnight.

Day 2

Full day in Ol Pejeta with game drives and walking activities from camp and a night game drive after dinner. Overnight Porini Rhino Camp.

Day 3

This morning you will be collected from Porini Rhino Camp and taken to the start of the safari. The drive is about 2 hours through pretty countryside, hopefully seeing some wildlife along the way.
You will be welcomed at camp by your team of Laikipia Masai and Samburu. Nyarara means Cheetah in Masai and the camp was given this name because of a large male that has been seen in the area.
On the afternoon walk you will pass through plains as well as mixed bush. Herds of Zebra, Oryx and Grant’s gazelle predominate on the large plains with smaller numbers of Jackson’s Hartebeest and Thompson’s Gazelle. In the mixed bush we find Dikdiks, Gerenuk, Impala and Lesser Kudu if we are lucky enough to see them.

Day 4

Today we will be heading down toward the Ewaso Nyiro River, which runs along the eastern edge of the Laikipia Plateau and then turns eastward toward Samburu National Reserve. Along the way we will be looking for Eland, Steinbuck, Giraffe, Waterbuck, Grevy Zebra as well as all the tough-to-see predators such as Wild Dog, Hyena, Lion, Leopard or Cheetah. We will spend the afternoon by the river and swimming and fishing before an evening walk to a sundowner spot looking towards Mt. Kenya.

Day 5

After breakfast you will be driven to Nanyuki in time for your onward flight to Nairobi for your onward journey.
