Nairobi National Park Kenya's first ever National park is a unique and unspoilt wildlife haven within sight of the city's skyline.

David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage
Later will drive you to David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to have a walk through the little center in an open space, with a rope fence around it. The youngest elephants come trotting out of the bush to greet their keepers who stand at the ready with giant bottles of milk.
For the next 10-15 minutes you can watch each little one slurp and gargle their milk. When they're done, there's water to play with and keepers to nudge and get hugs from. While you get to watch them play and take photos. You find out how old they were when they arrived at the orphanage, where they were rescued, and what got them into trouble. The most common reasons for getting orphaned are mothers poached, falling into wells, and human/wildlife conflict.

Once the youngest are all fed, they are led back into the bush, and it's the turn of the 2-3-year-olds. Some of them can feed themselves, and some are still fed by their keepers. It's very cute to watch them hold their giant milk bottles in their trunks and close their eyes with joy as they make quick work of several gallons of milk. After this, you will have about an hour for lunch (own expense), then be brought back to your hotel or residency within Nairobi. we thrive in making your tour exciting and more so, memorable
