What to do

Game drives within Olpusare Conservancy

Next day safaris are planned during dinner and the morning game drive and evening safaris are planned during lunch. Morning game drives start at 7 am & evening game drives start from 4pm with authentic Maasai driver/guides- Parashi is an excellent guide, he’s very passionate about guiding and always does so with a huge smile on his face.
We were not able to see great game at this time as it is the rainy season and wild animals have moved deep into the conservancy and back into the National reserves unlike during the dry seasons when they come back to the waterholes in search of water.
We however encountered Maasai Giraffes, Impalas, Common zebras, Wildebeests, hartebeest, Warthog, Dik dik, Baboons, Buffaloes, lesser Kudu in the conservancy
Other animals frequently spotted here include the African Elephant, Cheetah, Leopard, oryx, eland and lion.
NB1: Vehicles for game drives- Campi uses open sided land rovers for game viewing, and each can comfortably take 4 pax with window-sitting arrangement but can take an extra 3 pax if guests wish to be in one vehicle.
NB2: Campi consists of two electric vehicles
NB3: Every booking – whether two or one pax guarantees exclusive use of vehicle

Sundowners….You could watch the African sun go down along with incredible views of the Chyulu hills either at
