    Learn more about the conversation efforts to conserve an endangered species of giraffe known as the Rothschild Giraffe. The Giraffe Centre is the creation of the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (A.F.E.W. Kenya), a Kenyan non-profit organization. Their main purpose is to educate Kenyan school children and youth on their country’s wildlife and environment, as well as give local and international visitors an opportunity with the world’s tallest species, the giraffe.

    You will then be driven to the Kobe Tough Beads and Leather. This is a pottery company that makes one of the world most beautiful beads. You will be shown all the stages from the start to the finish. It’s also a unique factory as it employs single mother parents from the poor neighborhood who earn a living to support their families. It's a women empowerment center for the community. The center was started by women who formerly worked for Kazuri beads factory when it shut down during the pandemic. This was reprieve for them as they could continue to provide for their families.

    1 hour

  • Karen Blixen Museum

    Follow in the footsteps of Karen Blixen as you travel towards the Ngong Hills, you feel swept immediately onto the film set of Out of Africa the moment you arrive. The old colonial farmhouse is simple, housing a few items that Karen Blixen chose and once enjoyed herself. There are also the colorful gardens to explore, where several old coffee machines have laid untouched for decades. We will also take you to Karen Blixen coffee garden to enjoy your lunch or coffee at your pleasure.

Fascinating history close to many amazing spots.

Published on Jan, 2025

Was a beautiful experience, so much amazing history. Definitely watch Out of Africa, it will help with understanding the time period and Karen’s story. Our driver Kelvin was amazing. He showed us several locations that we fell in love with; elephant orphanage, giraffe center, Kobe beads and delicious local food.

Easy, enjoyable

Easy to organise, super friendly and helpful guide and wonderful experiences for the three attractions we went to. Can’t rate them highly enough.

Great tour spendind the day in Nairobi

Published on Sep, 2024

Booked the tour in advance of our vacation. Fast and easy communication with Kelvin. It was our last day in Nairobi and Kenya and Douglas our driver and tour guide made it to a special day, especially for my 70 years old Mom. We loved to feed the giraffes and had the chance to touch the Baby Elephants, have major respects to the women who are doing a great job and enjoyed seeing the original place/set from "Out of Africa" as we love the movie. It was a great final of our 3 weeks vacation tour through parts of Kenya. Thanks a lot!

Fed the giraffe, learnt a lot about head making and the legendary Karen Biden

I really had fun today gosh!!! My tour guide Dennis under rustic nature safari was so good and pleasant! I’ll give it a solid 7/10

My experience was the priority of the day!

Published on Jan, 2024

Kelvin was an amazing guide. I’m very curious and probably asked him 1,000 questions about Nairobi and Kenya. He was patient and knowledgeable. I felt that my experience was the priority. I’ll do other tours with Kelvin.
