A host of safari activities within the Ol Pejeta Conservancy (some at additional cost), including; game drives, horse riding and walking safaris, are available. The activity that we highly recommend is the safari option to visit the last two 'northern white rhinos' left on planet Earth, a very sobering East African experience, to say the least.
