A white rhino at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Kenya
This past week, we've been enjoying a family road trip for our March break. We went camping with friends in Naivasha before traveling into Kenya's central highlands to camp in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. Tonight we have come to the foot of Mount Kenya to enjoy a few nights at the beautiful Mt. Kenya Safari Club.

Ol Pejeta is a protected breeding area for black and white rhinoceros. It is also home to the last Northern White Rhinos left in the world. Now extinct in the wild, these last three are under twenty-four-hour armed security to protect them from poachers.
We are so thankful for this opportunity to see these beautiful giants.

Each day we were treated to herds of plains antelope, zebra, cape buffalo, giraffe, rhino, and elephant that would come to the watering hole only 50 meters from our tent. Separated by a deep ditch, we had an amazing up-close view of the action.
