Description
Discover Nairobi's iconic landscapes on a guided tour. Hike the Ngong Hills, visit the Giraffe Center, and explore the Karen Blixen Museum.
Begin your day with a refreshing hike across the rolling ridges of the Ngong Hills. Choose between a shorter trek to the first peak or a full 11.5-kilometer challenge across all seven hills. Enjoy a 360-degree panorama with the Great Rift Valley to the west and the Nairobi skyline to the east. Walk past modern wind turbines and through indigenous forests where you might spot buffaloes, baboons, and diverse bird species.
Next, head to the leafy suburb of Karen to visit the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (AFEW). Stand on a raised wooden platform to come eye-to-eye with the rare Rothschild's giraffes. Use provided pellets to hand-feed these gentle giants and even experience a famous "giraffe kiss." If time permits, take a 1-hour relaxing walk along the Gogo River trail to see giraffes in a semi-wild habitat.
Finally, visit the beautifully preserved 1912 farmhouse that served as the home of Danish author Karen Blixen. Discover the life that inspired the memoir and Oscar-winning film "Out of Africa." Wander through original colonial rooms filled with Blixen’s furniture and film props, then explore the expansive gardens featuring original coffee-drying equipment.
