Ol Pejeta and Aberdare lie in central Kenya between Nairobi and Mount Kenya, while Samburu and Reteti are further north in Kenya's semi-arid northern region. Ol Pejeta is approximately 200km north of Nairobi, with Aberdare National Park located just west of Mount Kenya. Samburu National Reserve and the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary (within Namunyak Conservancy) are situated roughly 100km north of Ol Pejeta. This layout allows a logical northward circuit from Nairobi, with road transfers ranging from 3–6 hours between destinations.
Travelers rate Ol Pejeta, Samburu, Reteti, and Aberdare very highly, often calling the combination a "hidden gem" compared to Kenya's more famous parks. Reviewers praise Ol Pejeta for its heartfelt rhino conservation work and close encounters with the last northern white rhinos, while Reteti receives emotional reviews for its orphaned elephant rescue experience. Samburu is loved for its unique "Special Five" wildlife and beautiful, uncrowded landscapes, though some note that wildlife can be more scattered than the Masai Mara. Aberdare's tree lodges with floodlit waterholes earn rave reviews for nighttime animal viewing, though a few mention that the park's thick forest makes daytime game drives challenging.
