Ol Pejeta Conservancy
All members of the "Big five game" (lion, Cape buffalo, African bush elephant, African leopard and rhinoceros) can be found on the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. Both black and white rhino thrive here. In 2013, Ol Pejeta recorded the birth of its 100th black rhino. This means the Conservancy is now a "Key 1" black rhino population on the IUCN African Rhino Specialist Group categorization. It is one of only eight sanctuaries in Africa with this distinction.
Other rare animals that can be found on Ol Pejeta include the endangered African wild dog, Oryx, Jackson’s hartebeest, Grevy’s zebra, Serval, Cheetah and Bat-eared fox. The more common African wildlife can be found too, including Giraffes, Vervet monkeys, Baboons, Hippos, Impala, Eland, Grant's gazelle, Dik-dik, Plains zebra, Silver backed jackal and Hyena. There are also over 300 bird species on the Conservancy.
Samburu National Reserve
Samburu National Reserve is a premier 165-square-kilometre wildlife haven tucked into the arid northern frontier of Kenya, approximately 350 kilometres north of Nairobi. Flanked by the life-giving Ewaso Ng'iro River, it is world-renowned for its dramatic semi-desert landscapes, deep cultural roots with the nomadic Samburu people, and an incredibly dense wildlife population that thrives away from the heavier crowds of the southern parks. The reserve hosts over 70 species of mammals, including some unique species only found in a few locations. These include the Reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich and Gerenuk. Samburu also is home to over 450 species of birds.
You’ll always have an exclusive-use vehicle with your own safari guide, and be accompanied by professional wildlife photographer, Michael Snedic, to help you capture spectacular shots on your unforgettable adventure.
