Nairobi Wildlife Safari Tour: Giraffe Center, Elephant Orphanage & More

See Rothschild giraffes on a unique perspective on the endangered species. You’ll be able to observe the giraffes on a raised platform and walking trail through the Giraffe Center, often watching them from much closer than you could in the wild, where Rothschild giraffes are a rare sighting.

Visit the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage a home to adorable baby elephants that have been rescued by conservationists. Unlike some tour options that feature a long list of stops, the focus is on the elephant orphanage alone, so you’ll have even more time to watch the baby elephants bottle feed and play with their keepers.

Visit Kazuri Beads and pottery Centre produce brightly-colored, handmade ceramic jewellery which are sold all over the world. Kazuri Beads supports literally hundreds of disadvantaged Kenyan women, by providing employment and healthcare services for them and their families.

After this, you will have about an hour for lunch (own expense), then you will go to the Nairobi National park through the main gate for a 3-hour game drive. Your guide will be aiming to show you as much variety of animals as possible. If you're lucky, you may spot the rhinos and lions getting ready for the evening. We use a safari van with a pop up roof for easier game viewing and not a small saloon car. At around 5pm, you will depart the park and be brought back to your hotel or residency within Nairobi City.
