Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time of year for rhino conservancy tours in Nanyuki?
Rhino conservancy tours can be enjoyed year-round in the Nanyuki area. However, the dry seasons (June-October and January-March) often provide better game viewing conditions as animals tend to congregate around water sources, and the vegetation is less dense, making sightings easier.
What is the difference between visiting Ol Pejeta and Lewa for rhino viewing?
Both Ol Pejeta and Lewa are excellent for rhino viewing. Ol Pejeta is the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa and home to the last two northern white rhinos, offering unique viewing opportunities. Lewa is renowned for its high density of black rhinos and its successful conservation model for both black and white rhinos.
