After breakfast, set out to explore Nairobi’s most cherished conservation landmarks, where wildlife protection and education take center stage. Your first stop is at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Elephant Orphanage, a sanctuary dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of orphaned elephants.

Continue your conservation journey with a visit to the Giraffe Centre, home to the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe. Standing on a raised platform, you’ll have the rare opportunity to interact with these graceful creatures eye-to-eye, feeding them pellets and learning about the vital breeding programs that have helped restore their numbers in the wild.
