City Tour
David Sheldrick Wildlife
This is an orphanage for elephant and rhino calves from all over Kenya. It was founded and is still managed by Daphne Sheldrick, the widow of the best-known game warden, David Sheldrick. The young calves that are orphaned by poaching from various parks are brought here and nursed until they are believed to be out of danger and then released back to various parks to rejoin their colleagues. The visit is done during the feeding hours, which fall between 11:00am and noon every other day. There is no park fee, but only your humble contributions to the trust.
Giraffe Centre And Karen Blixen
Nairobi Giraffe Center is only 15 km from the city and was founded in 1978 to save the endangered Rothschild giraffe. This is the only place where you can go as near as feeding the giraffe from your palm. Adjacent is the Karen Blixen Museum, the farmhouse where the author of the book “Out of Africa” lived. It is also the same place where the famous movie “Out of Africa” was shot.
Mamba Village
This is the newest of all the excursions in Nairobi. The major attraction here is the crocodile and ostrich farms. The clients will enjoy seeing the African crocodile at close range. There’s also an artificial river with fish, which is really attractive. You can enjoy a boat or horse ride before you settle for a buffet lunch or dinner.
Carnivore restaurant lunch/dinner
Guaranteed daily at lunch and dinner, Nairobi has many restaurants offering varieties of cuisine. We recommend a dinner or lunch at the unique Carnivore Restaurant, which is famous for the succulent barbeque dishes of game meat, as an excellent complement after a holiday in Kenya, especially as an excellent welcome or farewell dinner. The restaurant also offers a vegetarian menu. Don’t forget the Tamarind Restaurant, which is a sister to Carnivore and serves seafood. Do not wait to go to the coast to enjoy a plate of lobster fish or a dish of crab; you can get the same in Nairobi in the city center.
Bomas of Kenya
“Bomas” means “village,” thus “Bomas of Kenya” means literally “villages of Kenya.” Kenya is a tribal society with over 42 tribes. The government thought it wise to set up a place with traditional homesteads representing the different tribal regions. This homestead depicts different cultures with guides to tell the history. Next to it, visit the auditorium, where you will be entertained by different tribal cultural troupes until 06:00 pm.
Nairobi National Park
Nairobi is the only city in the whole world that boasts of a national park next to its doorstep. Nairobi National Park is 15 km away from the city center, and despite this proximity, there are many species of mammals, including 4 of the Big Five. The best time to visit the park is early in the morning or late afternoon every day.
