6:30 am – We’ll pick you up from your hotel or site of your choice and proceed on the quick ride to Nairobi National Park.

One of Kenya’s oldest parks, the special reserve is just minutes from the city. The great savannah plains here are home to wild animals in their natural habitat. Look for lion, leopard, buffalo, hyena, giraffe, hippo, and endangered black rhinos.

Also in the park, the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage where we will watch the baby elephants being bottle-fed and cared for.

Lunch – your choice of the Karen Blixen Coffee Garden or world-famous Carnivore Restaurant.

Then we’ll tour the Karen Blixen Museum – home of the famous writer set at the foot of the Ngong Hills. The stately farmhouse served as Blixen’s home in the early 20th century.

Giraffe Centre – a sanctuary for endangered Rothschild’s Giraffes, we’ll get close and feed the large and colorful creatures.

Kazuri Beads – our final stop of the day. This enterprising shop is a testament to an artistic vision – the desire of local women to better their lives through the crafting of expressive beads and pottery. Your support of their handiwork translates into employment and self-sufficiency.
