Day 2
Nairobi, Kenya
Nairobi, Kenya
Nairobi has some creditable sightseeing destinations and most of these are located close to your accommodation. Here you will find the elephant orphanage run by the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, the Giraffe Centre run by the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife, Karen Blixen Museum celebrating the life of the colonial-era, Danish writer who lived here, and a number of interesting crafts shops and workshops. Located between these attractions and the airport is Nairobi National Park, which is home to more than 80 species of large mammals - including the so-called Big Five with the exception of elephants - and offers a surprisingly authentic if slightly surreal safari experience almost within earshot of downtown Nairobi’s traffic.
Your time in Nairobi is totally flexible - we take you wherever you want to go. Nicholas accompanies you for the day and you don’t have to decide on what you want to do/see until you arrive. All transport and entrance fees are included in the cost of your journey.
