GAME DRIVES

At Sanctuary Tambarare, guests can explore Ol Pejeta Conservancy with daily game drives, where expert guides enrich the experience. In addition to the Big Five and many other animals (from cheetahs and jackals to hippos and hyenas), the conservancy is home to over 130 black rhinos

The plains come alive at night, with nocturnal animals such as aardvark, white-tailed mongoose, zorilla (striped polecat), bat-eared fox, and perhaps even lions and leopards. This nighttime adventure is very special as it's not possible in most of Kenya's national parks and reserves.
