Itinerary

  • Giraffe Centre

    The tour start by picking you from your Nairobi Hotel. Proceed to the Giraffe Center, the headquarter for the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife made famous by "Daisy Rothschild", a giraffe calf rescued from Soi, on the Western Kenya border. Daisy and her family form only a small part of a herd of these gentle giants, living in a semi wild state at Giraffe Manor. You will also learn their behaviours, traits and more conservation education. These animals will come to a protecting wall to be fed.

    1 hour

  • Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

    We will drive you to David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust have a walk through the little 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. When they're done, there's water to play with and keepers to nudge and get hugs from. While you get to watch them play and take photos. 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. It's very cute to watch them hold their giant milk bottles in their trunks and close their eyes with joy as they make quick work of several gallons of milk.

Loved the babies

Published on Dec, 2023

We had a great tour guide who took good care of us and of course seeing the elephants and giraffes was amazing.

Fun tour with baby animals

Published on Oct, 2023

The Giraffe center was great. Learned a lot about the species and conservation efforts. Seeing the babies at Sheldrick was enjoyable. They were so adorable taking their bottles and then playing and eating leaves. Also went to a bead 'factory'. I was not really interested in this piece of the tour but found it to be so educational and one of the best experiences I had during my trip.

Enjoyed this tour and it’s perfect for families

Published on Jul, 2023

Benjamin picked us up promptly at 8 am..loved the fact that we reached Giraffes Center right when it opened and avoided the crowds. Rest if the trip was well planned too.

Great attraction

Published on Jun, 2023

This trip was amazing, definitely a must while in Nairobi. We had Stephen as our guide and he was really great. Definitely recommend.

Exceptional Guide & Experience

Published on Jul, 2022

Highly recommended. The ease of booking the tour, the early and effective communication to coordinate transport by Grace, and the exceptional professional insight from our guide Stephen made today’s trip a memorable and exciting adventure. Stephen was essential to us having the best possible experience! Thank you for your time, support, and insight; I will book through them again.
