Itinerary
Your adventure begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel or the airport. You’ll head straight to Nairobi National Park, a unique wildlife haven located just outside the city. During your morning game drive, expect to spot lions, endangered black rhinos, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, ostriches, and a wide variety of antelopes – all with Nairobi’s skyline as a backdrop. Bird lovers can also enjoy over 400 bird species recorded in the park.
After the safari, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant or lodge (optional), before heading to the Giraffe Centre, where you’ll have the unforgettable chance to hand-feed endangered Rothschild’s giraffes from a raised platform. Learn about giraffe conservation and enjoy amazing photo opportunities.
In the evening, transfer to your Nairobi hotel for dinner and overnight stay.
After breakfast, visit the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, where orphaned baby elephants are rescued and cared for before being reintroduced into the wild. Watch the little elephants being fed and playing in the mud, and learn about conservation efforts.
Later, you may choose from optional activities depending on your interests:
- Cultural Tour: Visit Bomas of Kenya for traditional dances and music, or Karen Blixen Museum for a touch of history.
- Shopping Tour: Explore local craft markets for handmade jewelry, carvings, and souvenirs.
After the activities, you’ll be dropped off at your hotel or at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your onward journey.
