    Too expensive and not worth it

    With something so expensive you would think you would be taken cared of. The truck had a high pitch beep sound throughout the entire day hurting our ears (in the very early morning and late night), the driver didn’t put his seatbelt on so another beep was heard, and he was just that a driver not a tour guide, there was a language barrier so none of our questions had accurate answers, other excursions provided water this one did not, and we felt uncomfortably pressured to give a tip. The most devastating part was the northern white rhinos (the main reason for the tour) were falsely advertised for you had to pay $70 per person to see them. Whilst the area is beautiful and there is plenty to see, know that all fees are not included and you are hiring just a driver that is on his phone the whole time.

    Response from the operator: Halo Alicia, we agree that the olpajeta tour is expensive, yes because the entrance fees are very high and the money goes towards conservation efforts in the park, to pay the rangers and manager it. just for entry its north of 120 USD per person. the only lodge you can have lunch in the park its the serena and lunch there is around 35 USD without drinks. The high pitch sound is the speed governor and we cannot go over limit and get a ticket. Yes northern white rhino you pay an extra 70 USD to be with them and this goes towards maintaining them which is very expensive. its polite to give a small tip to the ranges once they walk you to the rhinos but its not a must. This trip is for nature lovers who know they are paying extra not just for their tour but for conservation efforts.

    Great place to see rhinos!

    It was a great experience to see rhinos and other animals! The drive from Nairobi to the conservancy is long and bumpy but I found it to be worth it. My guide was great and he listened to what I wanted to see and went above and beyond to make it happen. I got to feed a blind rhino and see many other rhinos (including the last 2 northern white rhinos in the world). I also saw hippos, giraffes, zebras, elephants, and many other animals. Overall, it was a great experience!

    Response from the operator: Hello Megan, Thank you for your wonderful review. We're thrilled you had a great time on the safari and enjoyed some time with the Rhinos and the animals at large, we are delighted that our guide was great too. We look forward to welcoming you on another adventure soon. Regards Clara.

    Excellent and memorable trip

    Myself and 3 friends did a day trip from Nairobi to Ol Pejeta conservatory with Perfect wilderness safari. We were very happy with our decision and could not be more pleased with the day. We were fortunate to have Paul as our driver/guide. He kept us safe while driving and was informative along the way, answering any questions we had. The reason for the trip was to see the Northern White Rhinos which did not disappoint. Perfect wilderness safari arranged for tickets ahead to time for us. I expected the tickets to just be a viewing. Instead we had a private hour with the rhinos where we learned about them from a park ranger and then had an opportunity to feed, pet them, and take pictures with them. It was an unforgettable experience. The rest of the day was free to see other sites in the park. Paul was very accommodating and patient and took us anywhere we wanted to go. We chose to spend time with the blind rhino, the chimpanzees, and had lunch at the Serena sweet water lodge in addition to some game drives. We also got to stop at the equator (both in and outside the park). Paul also took us to a great souvenir shop outside the park after the tour. It was a long day but very enjoyable. I would not hesitate to book the tour with this company. If you do, ask for Paul as a guide/driver

    Response from the operator: Hello Steve, Sounds like an incredible day trip. Paul seems to have provided an excellent and informative experience for you and your friends. It's wonderful that you had the opportunity to spend quality time with the Northern White Rhinos and explore other sites in Ol Pejeta Conservancy. Thank you for sharing your positive experience and for choosing us. Regards Sylvia

    Lions in Ol Pejeta

    Dan was an excellent guide throughout the day. Lots of great information and he found us lions after a recent kill - very knowledgeable about all the animals and birds - a fantastic day!

    Response from the operator: Hi Thank you for your five star rating and an impressive general experience with our staff and product. We're honored to serve you. We look forward to seeing you next time. Best Victor

    Ol Pejeta Conservancy Day Tour from Nairobi: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Maasai Mara National Reserve.

    How much does Ol Pejeta Conservancy Day Tour from Nairobi cost?

    +

    Prices start at $380 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Maasai Mara National Reserve usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Ol Pejeta Conservancy Day Tour from Nairobi take?

    +

    Plan for about 24 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Maasai Mara National Reserve is not rushed.

    Is Ol Pejeta Conservancy Day Tour from Nairobi worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Maasai Mara National Reserve, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Ol Pejeta Conservancy Day Tour from Nairobi?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Ol Pejeta Conservancy Day Tour from Nairobi suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Ol Pejeta Conservancy Day Tour from Nairobi?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Maasai Mara National Reserve can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Maasai Mara National Reserve and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Ol Pejeta Conservancy Day Tour from Nairobi start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Maasai Mara National Reserve within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Maasai Mara National Reserve?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Maasai Mara National Reserve experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include African Wildlife & Nature - 5 Kenya national parks - 6 day Jeep Safari, 2 Days Classic Maasai Mara Safari, 4-Day Tour in Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivash, Masai Mara from Nairobi. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Maasai Mara National Reserve?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Maasai Mara National Reserve?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
