Day Trips

You already know that Kenya is a wildlife paradise. But did you know that Nairobi teems with wildlife as well? Just minutes from the busy streets of the capital you can see baby elephants playing in a special orphanage… feed giraffes in an urban sanctuary… or gaze upon free roaming lions, leopards, cheetahs, rhinos, buffalos and hippos.

Imagine leaving your Nairobi hotel and in minutes you’re at the edge of the city, deep in a dramatic savannah, on your own private safari at Nairobi National Park. You’ll be on the lookout for buffalo, zebra, giraffe, ostrich, hyena and of course the big cats.

From there you’ll head to the David Sheldrick elephant sanctuary to delight in the most adorable creatures feeding from giant baby bottles!

Then, it’s your choice of lunch at the Karen Blixen Coffee Garden or world-famous Carnivore Restaurant. A visit to the Karen Blixen Museum follows, made famous in the movie, “Out of Africa”.

The afternoon promises more excitement as we drop in on the Giraffe Center, home of endangered Rothschild’s Giraffes. On these stately grounds you can get up close and even feed these imposing creatures.

You’ll wrap up your private tour at the dazzling Kazuri Bead Center where female artisans create bright, hand-made ceramic jewelry. The jewelry sales help these women improve their lives.
