Proudly Laikipian - Kenyan Safaris

Pour me a sunset, kill the night and I promise to drink with you forever. ~ William G. Herman

Hello my people,

Have you ever had an experience so surreal you cannot put it in words? Well that is how I feel as I post this about my recent game drive at sundown at my favorite park. You guessed right… Olpejeta! I have written about it before on All hail the marsh, our cheeky relatives and what we lost along the way.

On this game drive, I only covered a small radius of the 90,000 acre conservancy and below a few photos that best summarize my experience. I hope you like them and if you would like to visit the conservancy, which I believe you should, here is a summary of what to expect:

Unlike many parks in this region, Olpejeta is open to the locals anytime…no appointment needed. It is the only place in Kenya with Chimpanzees It is home to all the big five The paths are clearly marked so with or without a guide, you can figure your way around It is the biggest black rhino sanctuary in East africa It is home to the world’s last three northern white rhinos (1 male &2 females)
