Itinerary

1. A Day In Nairobi

   • Meet the tour guide at 6:30 am and begin the tour.
   • Make the first stop at one of the unique national parks in the world. Within minutes of your hotel and the city of Nairobi, you’ll be quickly transported to a scene of animals roaming in the wild – Nairobi National Park. This is just the first step in a day filled with unexpected wonders. Explore Nairobi National Park: So close to the city, its skyscrapers fill the horizon, you’ll find yourself on a broad savannah, home to lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino, giraffe and many more. These are the wildlands of Nairobi National Park, Kenya’s very first reserve. On your game drives here, just 10 km (6mi) south of the city, you’ll be on the watch for hyena, impala, ostrich and over 400 species of birds. Most incredible of all, the park hosts zebra and wildebeest moving through this wild space in an epic great migration.
   • Meet the young elephants at David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage: Within the park's borders lies perhaps the most special animal sanctuary in the world. You’ll visit this unique reserve where rescued baby elephants are saved and nursed back to health. Feeding time is at 11:00 am, and you’ll be there to enjoy the sight of dozens of these babies being fed from enormous milk bottles. Feeding is followed by bath time as the tiny elephants roll about and cavort in giant mud baths.
   • Now it’s your lunchtime, so take your choice of dining at the Karen Blixen Coffee Garden or the world-famous Carnivore restaurant.
   • Go through Karen Blixen Museum: If you’ve read the book or seen the movie “Out of Africa”, you are already familiar with the life of writer, planter and legend Karen Blixen. If not, you’ll learn all about Blixen in her home on this beautiful homestead at the foot of the Ngong Hills. Here Blixen established a coffee plantation in colonial Africa. The museum features artifacts from her life and props from the classic movie, which was shot close by.
   • Proceed to Giraffe Center: The tour continues to thrill at this refuge for the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe, where you can climb the high platform and try your hand at feeding one of the towering creatures. The grounds include an Information Centre and Nature Trail where you can see warthogs, birds and more. The Centre is also a favourite of Kenya’s schoolchildren, and you’re sure to spot plenty of them as well.
   • End the day approximately at 5.30 pm as you are transported back to your hotel.
