A highlight of the journey is a full-day safari in Ol Pejeta Conservancy, one of Africa's leading wildlife conservation areas. The conservancy is internationally recognized for protecting endangered species and is home to East Africa's largest black rhino sanctuary and the world's last two remaining northern white rhinos. During your visit, you'll enjoy thrilling game drives in search of the Big Five and other wildlife, while learning about Ol Pejeta's pioneering conservation initiatives. Guests will also visit the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, Kenya's only sanctuary for rescued chimpanzees, where these remarkable primates are cared for in a safe and natural environment.
