Description

Get to familiarize yourself with the landscape and wildlife of Nairobi on this full-day trip. Discover nature at the Nairobi National Park, David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and the Giraffe Center.
After being picked up at your hotel early in the morning at 06:00 am, you will head towards Nairobi National Park, arriving at around 06:30 pm. From there, take an exciting 4-hour game drive through the park. Explore Nairobi National Park, a beautiful wildlife sanctuary only 6 miles (10 km) from Kenya’s capital. Established in 1946, it has 44 square miles (114 square km) of pristine savanna with a large population of migratory game animals.

Stay on the lookout for many species of game animals, including black rhinos, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, buffalos, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeest, as well as countless species of wild birds. The park’s open border on its southeast perimeter allows a corridor for the natural migration of game animals during the seasonal rains. Watch the park’s hundreds of bird species, including at least 20 seasonal European migrants

Other attractions include the ivory burning site monument, and walking trails at hippo pools. Please note the National Park tour is 5 hours in total. Don’t miss this chance to get up close with some of Kenya’s amazing wildlife! It will be useful to bring binoculars, a camera, hat, sunscreen and sunglasses. We then proceed to David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, the Giraffe Center, and finish the tour with the Kobe Beads factory.

Move on to tour an elephant orphanage and a giraffe sanctuary to feed and learn more about these animals. Finish the day with a visit to the Kobe Beads factory before heading back to your hotel.
