WILDLIFE
safari
The intoxicating experience of being on a wildlife safari is unlike anything else. Feel the mighty rumble underfoot as thousands of galloping wildebeest cross the open savannas, witness the commanding presence of African elephants at the river’s edge as they cool themselves from the afternoon heat, hear the gentle lionesses purring as they lay under the acacia tree grooming their cubs, or behold the regal giraffes as they comb the uppermost treetops searching for a midday snack.
Discover a multitude of unique safari experiences: guided game drives, hot air balloon, horseback riding, photography, running/walking/biking, or night game drives.

SHELDRICK WILDLIFE TRUST
Nestled within Nairobi National Park, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Baby Elephant Orphanage offers guests a unique opportunity to witness the care and rehabilitation of orphaned baby elephants rescued from the wild. During the daily public viewing hour, guests can watch the elephants being bottle-fed, playing in the mud, and even have the chance to gently touch them as they roam close to the viewing area. Keepers share touching stories about each elephant’s rescue and recovery journey, while highlighting the Trust’s dedication to wildlife conservation and anti-poaching efforts in Kenya. An experience that leaves travelers with a heartwarming and lasting connection to the cause of protecting Africa’s majestic wildlife.
GIRAFFE CENTRE
Visiting Nairobi’s Giraffe Centre is a unique and memorable experience, offering an up-close encounter with the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe. Visitors can feed the giraffes from a raised platform, feel the touch of their long, curious tongues, and even steal a giraffe “kiss” if they’re brave enough. The Centre also features informative exhibits and knowledgeable guides who offer valuable insights into giraffe conservation and the broader efforts to protect Kenya’s wildlife. Set against the backdrop of tranquil woodlands, with warthogs often trotting by, the Giraffe Centre provides a rare opportunity to connect with nature in a close, respectful, and unforgettable way.
“There is something about safari life that makes you forget all your sorrows and feel as if you had drunk half a bottle of champagne - bubbling over with heartfelt gratitude for being alive.”
