Nairobi City Tour

Nairobi National Park

The day tour starts 6:00AM by picking you from your hotel/residence / Airport and a short transfer to Nairobi National Park. Upon arrival, take an exciting 4-hour game drive through the park. Stay on the lookout for many species of game animals, including black rhinos, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, buffalo’s, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeest, as well as diverse birdlife with over 400 species recorded. Other attractions include the ivory burning site monument, and walking trails at hippo pools.

David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage

10.30hrs You will exit the Nairobi National Park. Enjoy an outing to David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage Conservation Centre. Where else can you see dozens of baby elephants being fed from giant milk bottles right before you? And then after the feeding, watch the elephant babies roll about in the mud, playing, frolicking like young children everywhere.

This world-renowned sanctuary rescues orphaned elephants throughout Africa and hand raises them with expertise and love. The Sheldrick Family has been taking in and caring for these orphaned babies for over forty years. Over 200 have now been rescued and you can experience up close the expressions of compassion and caring in this very special place. The feeding time is from 11am to 12 pm. Thereafter you will head to Karen Blixen Restaurant for lunch.

Please note: By adopting an elephant with a donation of $50 or more, you become a partner in The Sanctuary’s efforts to provide the gift of home, herd, rest, refuge, and individualized care for life. Adopt an Elephant donors receive: a Certificate of Adoption, including a photo and bio detailing the amazing story of your “adoptee”

Giraffe Centre

After lunch head out to the Giraffe Centre. Here, you can climb up the feeding tower and hand feed a food pellet to an inquisitive giraffe. Some lucky visitors have been known to get a giraffe kiss!

The Centre is a refuge for the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe. Here we’ll learn about this beautiful species at the special Information Centre. You may also find yourself surrounded by dozens of schoolchildren, as this is a favorite outing for Kenya’s youngsters.

Kazuri Beads

Our last stop on this busy city tour is a testament to self-determination, creativity and the Kenyan spirit. Kazuri means “small and beautiful” in Swahili and the many beads and other ornamentation produced here are indeed very beautiful.

This handiwork is the creation of hundreds of determined and skilled women who craft these ceramic beads, making artistic jewelry that’s seen and sold all over the world. Begun in 1975 with just two single mothers, the center quickly grew as an enterprise for disadvantaged women where they could better themselves and their life opportunities.

Here, we’ll be able to view the artists at work and visit the gift shop for souvenirs to support this very special business.

Wrapping up our adventure of game watching, baby animals, history, and beautiful crafts, we will bring you back to your hotel or place of your choosing. At around 5pm, you will be brought back to your hotel/Residence/Airport.
