Nairobi: National Park, Elephant Orphanage, and Giraffe Tour

Discover the natural beauty of Nairobi on a day trip from the city. Embark on a game drive in Nairobi National Park, visit the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, and feed giraffes at the Giraffe Center.
Embark on a full-day safari from Nairobi and visit the Nairobi National Park, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, and the Giraffe Center. Enjoy a game drive, see baby elephants, and feed giraffes.

Start your day with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Nairobi. Drive to Nairobi National Park, one of the few national parks located within a capital city. Upon arrival, embark on a game drive as the sun rises.

Nairobi National Park is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, buffaloes, zebras, giraffes, and over 400 bird species. The early morning is a great time to spot predators on the hunt and herbivores grazing in the open savannah.

As you drive through the park, enjoy the stunning views of the Nairobi skyline juxtaposed against the wild landscapes, a unique feature of this urban national park. Make brief stops at the Hippo Pools to observe these massive creatures and their surroundings.

Visit the Ivory Burning Site Monument, a significant symbol in Kenya’s fight against poaching. After your game drive, head over to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, located just outside Nairobi National Park.

This sanctuary is renowned for its elephant orphanage, where baby elephants are rescued, rehabilitated, and eventually released back into the wild. Witness the heartwarming sight of young elephants being fed and playing in the mud.

The keepers will share stories about each orphaned elephant, their rescue, and their journey to recovery. Before leaving, you have the opportunity to adopt one of the elephants and support the Trust's conservation efforts.

Head to a nearby restaurant for a delicious lunch. You can enjoy traditional Kenyan cuisine or opt for an international menu, depending on your preferences. Take some time to relax and refresh before continuing your safari adventure.

After lunch, a brief 30-minute drive will take you to the Giraffe Center, located in the leafy suburb of Lang’ata. The Giraffe Center is home to the endangered Rothschild giraffe. Here, you’ll have the chance to feed these gentle giants by hand and even get a giraffe kiss.

Learn about the efforts being made to conserve this endangered species. The knowledgeable guides at the Giraffe Center will provide an educational talk about giraffes, their habitats, and the ongoing conservation efforts.

If time permits, take a short nature walk in the Giraffe Center’s grounds, which offer a peaceful escape from the city and a chance to spot various bird species. Before leaving, browse the gift shop for unique souvenirs that support conservation efforts, such as local crafts, art, and memorabilia.

After a full day of adventure, you’ll be driven back to your hotel or residence in Nairobi, arriving by late afternoon.
