Day Tour Ol Pejeta Conservancy and Chimpanzee Sanctuary
Description
Get an early start on the day with 6am pickup from your centrally-located Nairobi hotel, then begin the 3.5-hour drive to the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, passing through a scenic landscape of coffee and tea estates. Make the first stop at the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, a refuge for chimpanzees from around West and Central Africa. Learn about some of the 38 chimpanzees that live in the sanctuary’s natural enclosures, and see the primates as they approach a feeding platform. Continue into the Ol Pejeta Conservancy for a game drive across the open plains, which are home to a remarkable population of rare animals including wild dogs, zebras, cheetahs, and hartebeest, as well as the “Big Five”: lion, Cape buffalo, African elephant, leopard, and rhinoceros. Visit one of the lodges within the game sanctuary for lunch (own expense). After your meal, visit a rhino homestead and a manyatta, a reproduction of a traditional Kenyan homestead,
