What an incredible experience, worth every penny/shilling. Our guide George picked us up promptly and drove us north several hours to Ol Pejeta. He offered to stop at the equator point where a local guide could show us around (we declined) - and he stopped along the road to buy us several bunches of local fruit we told him we liked, to enjoy with our breakfast.
Over the course of the 4-5 hours George drove us through the game park, we saw just about every single species in the park (elephant and giraffe *incredibly up close and personal*, black and white northern rhino, buffalo, zebra, warthog, antelope, gazelle, and many birds) and the chimpanzees at the rescue center. The only animal we missed were the lions, who were deep in the forest avoiding the midday heat.
George’s instinct for where to seek animals in the park (and frequent check-ins with other guide friends also working in the park) meant we felt like we were constantly spotting new creatures. Incredible. He stopped for photos whenever, and no matter how often, a request was made, and would often pivot the vehicle for us to get the best views.
Lunch at Sweetwater was delicious with an excellent serving staff.
We cannot say enough good things about our tour with George today - and recommend you ask for him when booking!
