Description

See the Rothschild giraffes and young elephants at the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and Giraffe Center. View the indigenous handicrafts at Kazuri.
Take a trip to Nairobi to see the Giraffe Center, the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, and the Kazuri Bead Factory. See charming young elephants, engage in conversation with stately giraffes, and explore the creativity of locally produced pottery and beads.

Upon arrival in Nairobi, you will be picked up from your hotel to begin your first visit to the Giraffe Center. Take in the sight of these graceful animals in their semi-wild environment, learn about conservation initiatives, and take advantage of the chance to feed these kind giants.

Then head to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, a sanctuary teeming with cute baby elephants who are looking forward to their fill. Be mesmerized by the sight of these playful elephants splashing around in the water as you stroll through the sanctuary.

See the baby elephants being lovingly fed, then move on to the 2-3-year-olds, who can now feed themselves. Admire their agility as they use their trunks to deftly hold their heavy milk bottles.

Your final leg of travel takes you to the fascinating Kazuri Beads Factory. Admire the amazing artistry on display in the beautiful beads and pottery that the local women painstakingly crafted by hand.

This educational tour will conclude with a convenient drop-off at your Nairobi hotel.
