Your day begins with an early morning pickup from your Nairobi hotel, residence or airport.

Head straight to Nairobi National Park for an exciting morning game drive. Just outside the city centre, the park offers a unique safari experience where you can search for lions, rhinos, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and a variety of bird species, with Nairobi's skyline providing a spectacular backdrop.

Enjoy the cool morning hours when wildlife is generally most active.

Late Morning – David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

After the game drive, continue to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust for its elephant conservation experience.

Learn about Kenya's elephant conservation efforts and the work involved in rescuing, rehabilitating and protecting orphaned elephants.

Guests can learn more about the individual elephants, their stories and the challenges facing wildlife conservation in Kenya.

Afternoon – Giraffe Centre

Continue to the Giraffe Centre, home to the endangered Rothschild's giraffe.

Get an opportunity to see these beautiful animals up close, learn about giraffe conservation and, where permitted, interact with the giraffes from the elevated platform.
