DAY 2 - Nairobi

After breakfast, proceed to David Sheldrick elephant orphanage. David Sheldrick Animal Orphanage is located in a secluded area of the Nairobi National Park, where orphaned baby elephants amongst other animals are taken care. The orphanage is run by Daphne Sheldrick (wife of the late famous Naturalist, David William Sheldrick who was the founder Warden of Tsavo East National Park in Kenya from its inception in 1948 to 1976). Open from 11 AM - NOON, this is when baby animals are brought from the National Park for a mud-bath at the orphanage, where for an hour you can get close to them and sometimes touch them.

Thereafter, we will head to the home of the pioneer Coffee farmer – Karen Von Blixen, now reserved as Karen Blixen Museum. A visit to this museum provides an opportunity to step back in time and gain an insight into this remarkable woman’s life. Views of the famous Ngong Hills can be admired from the beauty landscaped gardens of the Museum. Karen Blixen is the author and writer of the famous book “Out of Africa”.

Lunch will be served at Karen Blixen Coffee garden.

After lunch, we proceed to the Giraffe Centre. This is Africa’s pride of International celebrity. Since its founders, Jock and Betty Leslie Melville rescued a baby giraffe named Daisy from a heavily poached area of Western Kenya in 1974, their home has become a household name among wildlife lovers worldwide – and Daisy a star in her own right.

This is the highest elevation of the Kenyan Rift Valley at 1890 metres. There is no visible outlet but it’s believed there is an underground outflow.

After lunch, you will have a chance to do an hour boat ride around the lake where you will come into close contact with hippos. In addition, you will get to walk among the herbivorous animals with a guide on Crescent Island.
