There are also a number of rare Northern species seen nowhere else in East Africa, like Grevy zebra, Jacksons hartebeest and Beisa oryx and the almost extinct Northern white rhinos. The conservancy lies on the equator and has Mount Kenya as a stunning backdrop. Experience walking or riding safaris, which are a totally different experience from safaris done in 4×4 vehicles.
