The itinerary

Day 01

Nairobi Safari Walk and Kenya's Wildlife Introduction

The tour starts with pickup from your Nairobi hotel at 8:00 AM.
Your first stop is the Nairobi Safari Walk, an eye-opening introduction to Kenya's parks and reserves. It offers an opportunity to learn what you can expect to see across the country.
You will get a taste of Kenya's rich animal collection, including the rare bongo, white rhino, albino zebra, as well as a collection of cats, antelopes, and primates. NSW is also home to about 150 species of local trees, and you will learn about their varied traditional uses too. The Nairobi Safari Walk has been designed to blend in with the natural environment and is made of sisal and gum poles. Interestingly, even the waste bins and light shades are built in this style.

Day 02

Visit the Nairobi Animal Orphanage

Your next stop will be the Nairobi Animal Orphanage, whose main purpose is to host a collection of orphaned, injured, and abandoned wild animals from all over the country.
The facility hosts both indigenous and exotic wild animals within environmentally enriched enclosures. The composition depends on the rescued animals currently in care.
You are likely to see lions, hyenas, leopards, cheetahs, warthogs, buffalo, different species of apes, guinea fowls, and crested cranes, among others.

Day 03

Cultural Performances at Bomas of Kenya

You will be taken for lunch (optional and at your own expense) and then begin the drive to Bomas of Kenya.
Bomas of Kenya is a cultural centre at Langata, near the main gate to Nairobi National Park.
The talented resident artistes perform traditional dances and songs from the country's various tribal groups, including Arab-influenced Swahili Taarab music, Kalenjin warrior dances, Embu drumming, and Kikuyu circumcision ceremonies. It is touristy, of course, but it is still a spectacular afternoon out. It is a must-visit for all visitors.
After the visit, you will be dropped back at your Nairobi hotel.
