Itinerary

  1. Nairobi National Park

    5 hours Admission not included

    Begin with a pickup from your hotel, apartment, or airport by our knowledgeable driver/guide. The scenic drive to Nairobi National Park allows you to anticipate the exciting game drive ahead. Renowned for its expansive grasslands, the park is home to an impressive array of wildlife, including the endangered black rhinos and over 400 bird species. The distant city skyscrapers provide a unique, contrasting backdrop to the breathtaking natural environment. Following the exhilarating game drive, you will be comfortably dropped back at your hotel.

  2. Giraffe Centre

    one hour Admission not included

    At the Giraffe Centre, meet the endangered Rothschild’s giraffes up close in one of Nairobi’s most beloved conservation sanctuaries. From an elevated wooden platform, you’ll have the chance to hand-feed these gentle giants, feel their long, curious tongues, and capture incredible photos. Learn about the center’s mission to protect and breed this rare giraffe subspecies, and enjoy a fun, educational experience that perfectly blends wildlife interaction with conservation awareness.

  3. Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

    one hour Admission not included

    At the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, witness the heartwarming rescue and rehabilitation of orphaned baby elephants. Watch as the young elephants are bottle-fed, play in the mud, and interact with their keepers during the daily public session. Learn about each elephant’s touching story — from rescue to release — and the Trust’s pioneering conservation work that protects Kenya’s elephants and rhinos. It’s an inspiring, emotional experience that highlights the deep bond between humans and wildlife.
