Itinerary
One Day Excursion
Your adventure kicks off with a morning game drive through Nairobi National Park, the only national park in the world within a capital city. Against a backdrop of distant skyscrapers, you’ll have the chance to spot lions, giraffes, rhinos, buffalos, zebras, and more — all in their natural habitat.
After the safari, you’ll head to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, where rescued orphaned elephants are raised and rehabilitated before being released back into the wild. During your visit, you’ll learn about their stories, watch them play and feed, and witness the extraordinary care that goes into their survival.
The final stop is the Giraffe Centre, home to the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe. Here, you’ll get to hand-feed these gentle giants from a raised platform and learn about ongoing efforts to protect them. It’s a hands-on and heartwarming way to end a day dedicated to Kenya’s incredible wildlife.
