The perfect combination of activities!

Published on Dec, 2024

I went on this tour solo and met such a lovely group, that felt like friends. Stephen our driver and tour guide was amazing! Stephen was kind, knowledgeable, helpful, fun and took the best pictures of me while at the Giraffe Center. He also took us on a lunch stop at Utamaduni which was delicious. I really enjoyed this trip and can’t thank Stephen enough. All of the tours were very informative and I left feeling more aware and appreciative of all of the hard work in conservation efforts taking place in Kenya. The elephant orphanage and Girafe center were both educational and exciting. I also enjoyed seeing the ladies at the Kobe Tough Bead center, singing and making stunning handcrafted beads, accessories and clay sculptures.

Amazing day!

Published on Nov, 2024

Our day started by visiting the Giraffe Centre, feeding the giraffes and receiving an educational talk about the work they do. We then travelled to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust where we got to see the baby rhino and elephants and learned about their stories. We finished up by visiting the Kobe Tough Beads and Leather factory which was fascinating to see the great work the women do there. This is such a great trip and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Nairobi. Our guide, Stephen, was fantastic and looked after us really well and got us a great spot at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to see the Rhino and Elephants. The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust was the standout moment in the trip, seeing the work they do is heartwarming and brings some hope for humanity.

A must see!!

We had the pleasure of spending the day with Joe. An absolute star, he made an amazing day extra special. I hope our paths will cross again some day!! This tour is amazing, to be able to get so up and close with these beautiful animals was brilliant. The bead centre was also amazing, so many lovely ladies working there. It was great to see how they make their wares and they even gave us a lovely song and dance at the end. A great day out!!
