1. 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. Make the most of your visit when you go to the Giraffe Center nature trail up until the Gogo River. This is what most people don't get to see and it's a fascinating place to walk in the nature, with bushes on either side and birds giving the most wondrous songs. The trail will take about 1-hour going up and down in a relaxing pace. Entry fees to the giraffe center are included.

2. We will then 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. 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. 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.

About Nairobi

Nairobi, Kenias lebendige Hauptstadt und Ausgangspunkt für Ostafrika-Safaris, mit einem Nationalpark, in dem Wildtiere unter der Skyline leben.

Der Nairobi-Nationalpark liegt direkt hinter den Vororten, und seine Löwen, Nashörner, Giraffen und Büffel sind mit Wolkenkratzern am Horizont zu sehen. In der Nähe zieht ein Waisenhaus junge, in ganz Kenia gerettete Elefanten auf, und im Giraffe Centre begegnen Besucher von einer erhöhten Plattform aus seltenen Rothschild-Giraffen auf Augenhöhe.
