From Nairobi: Nairobi National Park, Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and Giraffe Centre Tour

Your Experience

Explore Nairobi National Park, Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, and Giraffe Centre in one English-guided safari with private transport and hotel transfers.

This is a full-day guided tour covering Nairobi National Park, Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, and the Giraffe Centre.

Getting started

Begin your day with hotel pick-up and meet your expert English-speaking guide as you board your private transport in a comfortable safari vehicle. After a short briefing on the day’s plan, you set off toward Nairobi National Park. Your guide handles all entrance formalities, so you can focus on the experience from the moment you leave your hotel.

What to expect

Nairobi National Park

Your first major stop is Nairobi National Park, a wildlife reserve uniquely located on the edge of Kenya's capital city. The park is known for views where open savannah and roaming animals line up against a backdrop of city skyscrapers.

Features

• With entry to Nairobi National Park included, you drive straight in and start your game drive without needing to arrange tickets on the day. Your private transport in a comfortable safari vehicle lets you watch for lions, rhinos, and other wildlife from large windows as you move through the park.

• The experience of a safari against the skyline is a highlight here, as your guide positions the vehicle for clear views of animals with Nairobi’s towers visible in the distance. Along the way, your expert English-speaking guide shares conservation insights and points out viewing angles that are easy to miss on your own.

Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

You then continue to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, a world-renowned center that cares for orphaned baby elephants. The visit typically aligns with their midday routines so you can observe the calves at close range.

Features

• Entry to Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is included, so your guide leads you directly to the viewing area once you arrive. Private transport in your safari vehicle takes you door to door, avoiding the need to navigate between sites independently.

• From a designated viewing space, you watch the elephants during feeding and mud bath time, seeing how each animal interacts and plays. Your expert English-speaking guide helps interpret the stories of rescue and rehabilitation you hear at the center and explains how this work fits into wider conservation efforts.

Giraffe Centre

Your final key stop is the Giraffe Centre, home to rare Rothschild’s giraffes on the outskirts of Nairobi. The site is designed for close viewing, including a raised platform that brings you level with the animals.

Features

• With entry to Giraffe Centre included, you head straight in and up to the observation platform without managing tickets on arrival. Your private transport in the safari vehicle brings you right to the entrance and waits while you explore.

• On the raised platform, you can hand-feed the giraffes, giving you the chance to observe their height, markings, and gentle movements at eye level. Your expert English-speaking guide is on hand to answer questions and share more about the Rothschild’s giraffes and local conservation initiatives before you return to your hotel with drop-off included.

Wrapping up

After your time at the Giraffe Centre, your guide drives you back in your private safari vehicle, with hotel drop-off bringing the experience to a close so you can continue your day in Nairobi.
