Nairobi Wildlife and Heritage Excursion

  • Get picked up from your hotel early in the morning, around 7-8 am, and drive to the Nairobi National Museum and Snake Park.
  • Your next stop is the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, where you will see dozens of baby elephants being fed from giant milk bottles right before you between 11 am and 12 pm. Then, watch the elephant babies roll about in the mud, playing and frolicking like young children. This world-renowned sanctuary rescues orphaned elephants throughout Africa and raises them with expertise and love.
  • Have lunch before visiting your next destination.
  • Proceed to the Giraffe Centre. There is a feeding tower where you'll hand-feed a food pellet to a curious giraffe. Some lucky visitors have even been known to get a giraffe kiss! The centre is a refuge for the endangered Rothschild's giraffe, and you'll learn about this beautiful species at the special Information Centre. This is a children's favourite spot.
  • Your last destination is the Karen Blixen Museum, famous for the book and film Out of Africa, the Oscar-winning film based on Karen's autobiography of the same title. There is also an optional visit to Tamambo Karen Blixen Restaurant near the museum.
  • At the end of the tour, get dropped off at your accommodation.
