Overview

You don’t have to venture far from Nairobi to encounter Kenya’s incredible wildlife. This expertly designed small-group tour takes you to two of the city’s most beloved nature attractions—the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife’s Giraffe Centre. Perfect for wildlife enthusiasts and conservation supporters, this tour offers an immersive experience while saving you the hassle of extensive travel, with convenient round-trip transfers included.

Your day begins with a visit to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, renowned for its world-leading elephant rescue and rehabilitation efforts. Witness firsthand the inspiring work being done to rescue orphaned elephants, many of whom have lost their mothers to poaching or human-wildlife conflict. During your time at the center, you’ll have the opportunity to observe the young elephants as they feed, play, and interact with their caretakers. The passionate staff will share heartwarming stories of each elephant’s journey, offering a deeper understanding of the challenges and successes involved in conservation. This is a rare chance to see these gentle giants up close and learn how they’re prepared for eventual reintroduction into the wild.

Next, you’ll head to the Giraffe Centre, home to the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe. Here, you’ll enjoy a truly interactive experience as you get up close to these majestic animals, feeding them directly from a raised platform. Learn about the center’s conservation initiatives aimed at increasing the population of Rothschild’s giraffes and protecting their habitats. Knowledgeable guides will explain the unique traits of these giraffes, their importance to Kenya’s ecosystem, and the ongoing efforts to ensure their survival. This engaging encounter provides a wonderful opportunity to connect with one of Africa’s most iconic species.

Throughout the tour, your experienced guide will provide fascinating insights into Kenya’s wildlife conservation landscape, highlighting the importance of protecting these species for future generations. By visiting these two renowned institutions, you’re not only enjoying a memorable day but also supporting critical efforts to preserve Kenya’s natural heritage.

The tour is designed for convenience and ease, with return transfers from your Nairobi hotel included in the price. Travel in comfort with a small group, ensuring a personalized and relaxed experience. Whether you’re a first-time visitor to Kenya or a seasoned traveler, this tour is an enriching way to experience the beauty and resilience of Kenyan wildlife without leaving the city.
