As you wait your next flight at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport Join us for a tour and get to see Nairobis highlights and gain an insight into its fascinating scenery at Giraffe center and Elephant Orphanage.

Visit the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust on a half-day tour of a Nairobi elephant orphanage that’s home to adorable baby elephants that have been rescued by conservationists. Unlike some tour options that feature a long list of stops, the focus is on the elephant orphanage alone, so you’ll have even more time to watch the baby elephants bottle feed and play with their keepers. Then visit Giraffe Centre, climbing onto a viewing platform to see endangered Rothchild's giraffes from the treetops. Pre-booking transport from your Nairobi Airport ensures a hassle-free trip to these two family-friendly wildlife destinations.

    A day (few hours really) in Nairobi well spent. It felt like I was seeing a lot for just a few hours but it also didn’t feel packed or overwhelming. The tour guide did a great job of managing us and taking the pictures

    We are a family of five. We had a free day in Nairobi (before flying out in the evening), and would recommend this experience. We went to the Elephant Orphanage - it was fun to see the baby elephants and really interesting to hear about the amazing rescue work. Then to the Giraffe Centre for an opportunity to feed giraffes. Also an (optional) visit to the bead factory to see the process of making clay beads. Our guide Kelvin was excellent and very knowledgeable in answering our questions. This is a great way to spend a few hours in Nairobi.
