Safari, Maasai Market, and Giraffe Centre in Nairobi

Meet your tour guide at 6:30 am and begin the tour.
Make your first stop at one of the most unique national parks in the world, where you can enjoy game drives, guided walks, and picnics.
Within minutes of your hotel and the city of Nairobi, you will be quickly transported to a scene of animals roaming in the wild - Nairobi National Park. This is just the first step in a day filled with unexpected wonders.
Explore Nairobi National Park. So close to the city that its skyscrapers fill the horizon, you will find yourself on a broad savannah that is home to lions, leopards, buffalo, rhinos, giraffes, and many more. These are the wildlands of Nairobi National Park, Kenya's first reserve.
On your game drives here, just 10 km (6 mi) south of the city, keep watch for hyena, impala, ostrich, and over 400 species of birds. Most incredible of all, the park hosts zebra and wildebeest moving through this wild space in an epic great migration.
Proceed to Nairobi's vibrant culture at the Maasai Market, a colourful marketplace where Maasai artisans sell traditional crafts, jewellery, and clothing. Bargain with vendors and pick up authentic Kenyan treasures to remember your trip.
Now it's your break - have it at a local restaurant.
Embark on your journey to the Giraffe Centre. The tour continues to thrill at this refuge for the endangered Rothschild's giraffe, where you can climb the high platform and try your hand at feeding one of these towering creatures. The grounds include an Information Centre and Nature Trail where you can see warthogs, birds, and more. The Centre is also a favourite of Kenya's schoolchildren, and you will surely spot plenty of them.
End the day at approximately 5:30 pm as you return to your hotel.
