Day 4

Ol Pejeta and Chimpanzee Sanctuary

You'll be out exploring this morning with a choice of a game drive or guided walk. The conservancy covers 90,000 acres and has diverse wildlife. It promises to be an exciting morning's game viewing. You'll be back in camp for lunch and a rest, before your afternoon activity. If you want, you can visit the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, which is open from mid-morning to mid-afternoon. This is the only place in Kenya where you'll see chimpanzees, so for wildlife lovers this is an opportunity not to be missed.

Day 6

Masai Mara

The morning starts with an early breakfast to make the most of the full day safari in the Masai Mara.

You'll have a tasty picnic lunch en-route, returning back to the camp in the late afternoon. Celebrate with a chilled beer or G&T in the bar - it's been a long, and hopefully rewarding day!
