This 3-day Kenya safari delivers a perfect blend of unique forest wildlife and a classic savannah experience, making it an ideal short getaway for nature lovers. The journey begins in the lush, high-altitude canopy of Aberdare National Park, where you can watch elephants and elusive leopards visit floodlit waterholes directly from the comfort of a unique treehouse lodge. The adventure then shifts to the bustling plains of the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, home to the vibrant Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary—the only place in Kenya dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating orphaned chimpanzees. Combining excellent chances to spot the Big Five (including highly protected black and white rhinos) with stunning views of Mount Kenya, this compact itinerary offers an incredibly diverse and impactful wildlife experience in just a few days
Our driver guide will come to pick you up at your hotel lobby within Nairobi.
Your driver picks you up at 7AM from your Nairobi hotel or JKIA Airport for a safari briefing before heading out. You'll drive for about 3 hours through the Kenyan Highlands toward Aberdares National Park, and if you're lucky, you might catch views of Mt. Kenya's snowy peak from the road. After arriving at Aberdares Country Club for lunch, there's time for a short nature walk before transferring to The Ark Lodge or similar in the afternoon. By evening you can settle in and watch wildlife gather at the floodlit waterhole from the lodge's viewing decks.
After breakfast, you'll head out on a game drive from Aberdares toward Ol Pejeta Conservancy. The drive takes around an hour, and you'll spot wildlife along the way. Once you arrive, grab lunch before checking into Sweetwaters Luxury Tented Camp or similar. In the afternoon, another game drive takes you through the conservancy where you can look for black rhinos and other wildlife. Dinner happens back at camp later that evening.
An early morning game drive across the conservancy gets your day started, then you'll head back for breakfast before checking out. The drive back to Nairobi takes you through the afternoon, and you'll arrive at your hotel or get dropped at the airport for your onward flight depending on your plans.
