Today, you’ll join an exciting excursion in the capital that gets you close to some of Kenya’s best wildlife. It starts with an early pick-up to skip the traffic as you head to Nairobi National Park’s main gate for entry. You must stay inside the car due to the unpredictability of wild animals. On a lucky day, you will spot lions, buffalos, zebras, rhinoceros, giraffes, gazelles, ostriches, and many more. At some point during the visit, you’ll have breakfast in a picnic area. 

By mid-morning, you will drive outside of the city and visit an Elephant Orphanage—a project that rescues and takes care of orphaned elephants from potential poachers when their mother dies. When they’re old enough, the elephants return to the jungle.  From here, you’ll visit a Giraffe Center, which protects the highly endangered Rothschild’s giraffe.

Watch and feed these charming animals while learning more about the center’s conservation successes. If there’s time, make sure to check out the walking trail through the nearby Gogo River Bird Sanctuary. Your driver will then drop you off in an area of the city with great restaurants for lunch. Take the rest of the afternoon to enjoy the city any way you’d like.
