Nairobi and Nairobi National Park Tour Overview

Nairobi National Park
There’s no other national park like it. Imagine within sight of a world-class capital city – lions, leopards, buffalo, and rhino, all roaming freely as they have for millennia. Incredibly, you’ll be taking pictures of giraffes, framed by downtown skyscrapers.

Just a short ride from the city, we’ll be on the lookout for impala, zebra, ostrich, and so much more. This stretch of ancient plains also holds the yearly zebra and wildebeest migration – a timeless movement of thousands of animals.

Don’t miss the Ivory Burning Monument – where, in dramatic protest, Kenya’s leaders destroyed captured illegal ivory in a stand of defiance against elephant poaching.

Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage
Your Instagram feed will explode when you post up-close pictures of baby elephants feeding from giant baby bottles! Here at the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, rescued babies are nursed to health until they are ready to be introduced back into their homelands.

We’ll get here by feeding time (11 am) so you can see this astonishingly cute spectacle – special handlers each attend to their assigned ‘babies’ gently bottle feeding them. And time permitting, we’ll stick around to enjoy these giant small-fry splash about in their daily mud baths!

Nairobi and Nairobi National Park Tour Itinerary

Day 1

Time Capsule of Nairobi National Park + City Tour

6:30 am – We’ll pick you up from your hotel or site of your choice and proceed on the quick ride to Nairobi National Park.

One of Kenya’s oldest parks, the special reserve is just minutes from the city. The great savannah plains here are home to wild animals in their natural habitat. Look for lion, leopard, buffalo, hyena, giraffe, hippo, and endangered black rhinos.

Also in the park, the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage where we will watch the baby elephants being bottle-fed and cared for.

Lunch – your choice of the Karen Blixen Coffee Garden or world-famous Carnivore Restaurant.

Then we’ll tour the Karen Blixen Museum – home of the famous writer set at the foot of the Ngong Hills. The stately farmhouse served as Blixen’s home in the early 20th century.

Giraffe Centre – a sanctuary for endangered Rothschild’s Giraffes, we’ll get close and feed the large and colorful creatures.

Kazuri Beads – our final stop of the day. This enterprising shop is a testament to an artistic vision – the desire of local women to better their lives through the crafting of expressive beads and pottery. Your support of their handiwork translates into employment and self-sufficiency.
