Rhinos at Ol Pejeta and the Special Five at Samburu, with a flight home from the north.
This route links two of northern Kenya’s best places. Ol Pejeta is a conservancy with the largest black rhino population in East Africa and a wide-open plain below Mount Kenya. Samburu is the dry north, with its river, its elephants and its own unusual species.
Two nights in each, and a flight home from the Samburu airstrip, keep the days for wildlife.
