Giraffe Center and Karen Blixen Museum Tour

• You will be picked up from your accommodation or hotel in Nairobi.
• Giraffe Center
  • Visit the headquarters of the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife, made famous by Daisy Rothschild. It is quite an experience being eye to eye with a giraffe - you can get a real sense of the size of these gentle giants. There is also an education centre about breeding and conserving the rarest of Kenya's three giraffe species. Learn about their behaviours and traits, and gain more conservation education as you get up close and personal on a raised observation platform.
• Karen Blixen Museum
  • You will then be driven to the old colonial house of Danish author Karen Blixen. Now a museum, this property and the surrounding Ngong Hills were made famous in the book and film Out of Africa. It is a must-see for all Danes and lovers of African history and romance.
• Return to your hotel or the airport to catch your flight back home.
