Description
This action-packed day tour of Nairobi showcases the best that this energetic city has to offer. Nairobi National Park, David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and the Karen Blixen Museum.
Nairobi National Park
The tour starts by picking you from your Hotel/Home within Nairobi. You will be driven to Nairobi National Park.
Nairobi National Park is known as the world’s only wildlife capital city park, where you can see a variety of wildlife in their natural habitat, just kilometers away from the city’s skyscrapers. The park is home to four of the Big Five animals (lions, leopards, buffaloes, and rhinos), as well as giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, hyenas, wildebeest, and many more.
The David Sheldrick Wildlife
Trust You will then be driven to David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to walk through the center from 11am - 12pm 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. Then, you'll have time to watch the elephants play. You find out how old they were when they arrived at the orphanage, where they were rescued from, and what got them into trouble. The most common reasons for getting orphaned being: mother's 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. Watch them interact with their keepers, munch on some branches of their favorite acacias, and play with the half drums of water and mud .The next stop will be
