Nairobi National Park, Wildlife Centres and Bomas of Kenya

  • After being picked up at 6:00 a.m. from your hotel or airport, begin your tour to Nairobi National Park through the main gate for a 3-hour game drive. Your guide will aim to show you as many different animals as possible. If you're lucky, you may spot rhinos and lions getting ready for the morning.

  • Then head to the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, which is only open for a short period each day from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00. Here, you will learn more about the baby elephants and what led them to become orphans. You will also get more information on raising them and the efforts being made to reintroduce them back into the wilderness.

  • After this, you will have about an hour for lunch at your own expense. Then proceed to the Giraffe Center. Here, you will see these magnificent creatures and learn why they are endangered. You will also learn about their behaviours and traits and receive more conservation education. To cap the visit, you will get the chance to feed them and maybe get a giraffe kiss.

  • Then, you will proceed to Bomas of Kenya and have an exciting experience with the local cultural dancers. You will also see the early traditional homesteads of the communities in Kenya.

  • Later in the evening, have a sumptuous dinner at Carnivore restaurant, which is considered Africa's greatest eating experience. Stay for two hours while enjoying the roasted meat until satisfied. Get dropped back at your hotel, which marks the end of the tour.
