πŸ“ Get Involved & Support Conservation

Want to understand the typical cost of an Ol Pejeta safari (1 to 3 days) with activities?

  • Ol Pejeta is defined by two unique experiences: visiting the last two northern white rhinos on Earth (a functionally extinct, visually distinct subspecies) and the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only place in Kenya to see rescued chimpanzees in a guided, conservation setting.
  • Because of this, safari costs are usually built as: game drives plus these two premium conservation activities, with optional add-ons like lion tracking or night drives.
  • To see real 1–3 day budget examples, use our Cost of an Ol Pejeta Safari guide, which shows typical prices when both the rhino and chimpanzee experiences are included.
