Nairobi Full Day City Tour

Nairobi National Park is a unique and unspoilt wildlife haven within the sight of the city’s skyline. Nairobi National Park is the only park that borders a capital city. Wide open grass, scattered acacia bush play host to a wide variety of wildlife including four members of the big five, exceptional being the elephant. Animals to be found here include; endangered black rhino, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, buffalos, giraffes, wildebeests, and diverse bird –life (Approximately 520 species recorded).

The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is a small flexible charity, established in memory of David Sheldrick, famous Naturalist and founder Warden of Kenya's giant Tsavo East National Park in which he served from 1948 until 1976. You can visit between 11am and 12 noon every day, and see the elephants being fed and playing. In addition, there is a keeper who will give a talk about the elephants, where they came from, how they are getting on, and how some of the previous orphans are progressing. You can get really close to the elephants. The orphanage also takes in rhinos and so if you are lucky you will get the chance to see a young rhino.

Karen Blixen Museum, the farmhouse was originally the home of Karen Blixen and coffee plantation during her time in Kenya from the 1910s to the 1930s and belongs to a different period of time in Kenya's history. The site gained international fame with the release of the movie Out of Africa, an Oscar-winning film based on her memoir by the same title. As you walk through the museum, you can see original furnishings and props from the film. The museum shop sells handicrafts, posters, postcards, the movie, books, and other Kenyan souvenirs. You are met at JKIA airport / your hotel in Nairobi briefed thereafter.
