Nairobi Day Trip :Giraffe Centre and Elephant Orphanage Tour

Visit the Giraffe Centre and the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage on a private half-day tour from Nairobi. Learn about the conservation efforts to save the Rothschild’s giraffe .
Embark on a half-day tour from Nairobi to the Giraffe Centre and the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage. Feed giraffes and watch baby elephants being fed and bathed.

Start your day with a pickup from your hotel or the airport in Nairobi. Climb into a private pop-top safari minivan and head to the Giraffe Centre. Climb the feeding tower and offer a giraffe a food pellet. Not only may he (or she) accept your offering, you may be rewarded with a kiss.

Such occurrences are not uncommon at the Giraffe Centre, a principal sanctuary for the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe. Learn how the giraffes are cared for and ultimately released back into Kenya’s parks.

Then, it’s a quick drive to the elephant orphanage. Arrive at this world-famous animal refuge in time for the daily feeding at 11:00 AM. Imagine the sight of dozens of baby elephants running to their handlers and latching on to giant baby bottles.

After the babies have had their fill of formula, it’s bath time. Just feet from you, the tiny elephants roll in the mud, playing and spraying each other. This very special place is a haven for orphaned elephants from Kenya and other countries.

Rescued after their mothers or families died from drought, accident, or were poached for their ivory, these babies finally have a safe home. The orphanage is the most successful sanctuary of its kind in the world and has saved over 200 baby elephants as well as young rhinos.
