About This Activity

This tour takes you through three of Nairobi's most beloved spots, starting with hotel pickup in Nairobi. Your first stop is the Giraffe Centre, home to the endangered Rothschild giraffes. These majestic creatures roam in a semi-wild setting, and visitors are invited to participate in feeding them. It's a unique experience where you can get close to these towering animals and learn about the efforts to preserve them. During your visit, you'll gain insights into giraffe conservation and the importance of wildlife protection.

Next, head to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, a sanctuary dedicated to the care of orphaned elephants. This part of the tour offers a chance to watch baby elephants play, interact with each other, and be fed. You'll witness the rehabilitation process of these young elephants, from being bottle-fed to gradually learning how to fend for themselves. The elephants' playful antics, particularly as they frolic in the water, will surely charm you. The tour is informative, offering a chance to learn about the trust's incredible conservation efforts and how they support the survival of these gentle giants.

The final stop is the Kazuri Beads Factory, where you can explore the craftsmanship behind beautifully handcrafted beads and pottery. The factory is known for producing high-quality products made by local women, supporting them through fair trade practices. As you walk through the factory, you'll get a firsthand look at how beads and pottery are made and have the opportunity to purchase unique souvenirs.

With roundtrip transportation, entry fees, and guides included, this tour provides a seamless and enriching day out. You’ll be dropped back at your hotel, making the tour convenient and stress-free. Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast, a nature lover, or someone eager to support local communities, this tour offers something for everyone.
