Day 1-3: Kenya: Adventure, Conservation, and Relaxation

We will meet you at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi, and welcome you to Kenya. Transfer to Ol Pejeta Bush Camp, Laikipia Plateau 

Once you have completed your passport and immigration formalities, a Moonlight Tours Expedition guide will meet and welcome you. You will drive for approximately five hours through picturesque flower farms and vibrant market towns. On arrival at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in the central Laikipia region, the dramatic and iconic snow-capped peaks of Mount Kenya overlooking this magnificent wildlife conservancy are a remarkable sight.  At Ol Pejeta Bush Camp, you and the kids can enjoy game drives in search of lion, cheetah, buffalo, elephant, and white and black rhino. Thrilling night drives add a new layer of adventure to your family excursions, seeking out nocturnal species or predators on the prowl. A real highlight is a visit to the endangered species enclosure to meet the world’s last two remaining northern white rhinos. The rangers will explain the remarkable work being done to save the species from extinction; this is a humbling and memorable way to spend a morning or afternoon. Ol Pejeta has eight tents, one of which is designed specifically for families with two connected en suite tents and a shared lounge in the center. All tents offer an en suite bathroom, flushing toilets, and hot running water. After an exciting day’s adventure, as the evening approaches, you can gather around the fire and relax with a favorite beverage, hearing the kid’s highlights of the day.
