Itinerary
Start your tour with pick up at your Nairobi Accommodation/Hotel. The first stop will be at Giraffe Center to see some Rothschild giraffes. The center's main purpose is to protect and help with the breeding of the endangered Rothschild Giraffe. Under the supervision of a professional, you can feed the giraffes from a raised observation platform. These platforms allow the visitors to come eye-to-eye with the giraffes. The center also has a large auditorium where visitors can listen to talks about Giraffe conservation and a various activities the center is involved in.
The next stop will be David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, where you will get great views of elephant calves. Daphne Sheldrick, as part of the David Sheldrick Conservation Foundation, rehabilitates baby elephants and other wildlife here at her home just outside of Nairobi National Park. These babies have lost their mothers to poaching, death, injuries, on getting lost in the wild or other tragedies.
You will then be driven to Kazuri Beads factory 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. Have lunch (own expense) at Bomas of Kenya then enter auditorium for cultural dances

About Maasai Mara National Reserve
The Maasai Mara is a vast reserve of open grassland in south-west Kenya, famed for its lions, elephants and the great wildebeest migration.
The Maasai Mara National Reserve covers rolling grassland, scattered acacia and river forest in south-west Kenya, and borders the Serengeti in Tanzania. Its name comes from the Maasai people and from mara, a word in their language for spotted, which describes the dotted look of its trees and bushes. The Mara River runs through it, holding hippos and crocodiles, and the Oloololo escarpment marks its western edge.
