The driver/guide pick you up at your hotel or location of choice at 5:00 am to begin our eventful day. On the way to OlPejeta, we’ll point out traditional Kenya coffee and tea plantations. Weather permitting, you’ll also enjoy views of Mt. Kenya and its snow-capped summit. The drive is relatively short, only 3 – 4 hours. It’s the closest place to Nairobi where you can possibly view all of Africa’s Big Five. You’ll have opportunities to spot many typical East Africa wildlife like the Northern giraffe, vervet monkey, baboon, hippo, impala, gazelle, dik-dik and zebras.
Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary

This is the only place in Kenya where you’ll be able to enjoy these loving and intelligent creatures. Here at the sanctuary, orphaned and abandoned chimps are rescued and nursed back to health. When they’ve been rehabilitated, the chimps are introduced to large natural enclosures where they can live and play freely.

Adding to the diversity of this special sanctuary you may also find some little-seen, unique wildlife such as the tree hyrax, white-tailed mongoose, black-fronted duiker, mole rat, bushbuck, waterbuck and eland.
You may carry picnic lunch or enjoy a hot delicious meal at the Sweetwaters lodge as you watch gazelles or rhinos at the drinking waterhole.
After lunch you will have a relatively short enroute game drive as you begin your journey back to Nairobi arriving at or around 7.30.pm
