Activities - Sanctuary Tambarare

Game drives are a daily delight for guests seeking to explore the Ol Pejeta Conservancy with expert guides. The conservancy is home to more than 130 black rhinos and a host of other animals, from the Big Five to cheetahs, jackals, hippos and hyenas. For an amplified thrill, embark on a game drive after dark, when the plains come alive with nocturnal animals. The experience is unique to Ol Pejeta, as night drives are not possible in most of Kenya's national parks and reserves. Guests may spot the elusive aardvark, white-tailed mongoose, zorilla (striped polecat), bat-eared fox, and perhaps even lions and leopards.

Fancy taking part in a citizen science project? Accompany a ranger on an adventure that actively helps to protect lions. You’ll scour the wild for these big cats and take notes on the specific animals spotted, then report to the Ol Pejeta Ecological Monitoring Department who will add the data to its collection.

For fitness and adventure fans, there is no better way to train than on a 5 to 7 km running route across the Ol Pejeta plains. This is a rare activity in the bush, so make the most of it while you can.
