Itinerary

  • Giraffe Centre

    The tour start by picking you from your Nairobi Hotel. Proceed to the Giraffe Center, the headquarter for the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife made famous by "Daisy Rothschild", a giraffe calf rescued from Soi, on the Western Kenya border. Daisy and her family form only a small part of a herd of these gentle giants, living in a semi wild state at Giraffe Manor. You will also learn their behaviours, traits and more conservation education. These animals will come to a protecting wall to be fed. Make the most of your visit when you go to the Giraffe Center nature trail up until the Gogo River. This is what most people don't get to see and it's a fascinating place to walk in the nature, with bushes on either side and birds giving the most wondrous songs. The trail will take about 1-hour going up and down in a relaxing pace. Entry fees to the giraffe center are included.

    1 hour

  • Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

    We will then drive you to David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust have a walk through the little center from 11am - 12pm in an open space, with a rope fence around it. The youngest elephants come trotting out of the bush to greet their keepers who stand at the ready with giant bottles of milk. For the next 10-15 minutes you can watch each little one slurp and gargle their milk. When they're done, there's water to play. While you get to watch them play and take photos. You find out how old they were when they arrived at the orphanage, where they were rescued from, and what got them into trouble. Once the youngest are all fed, they are led back into the bush, and it's the turn of the 2-3 year olds. Some of them can feed themselves, and some are still fed by their keepers. It's very cute to watch them hold their giant milk bottles in their trunks and close their eyes with joy as they make quick work of several gallons of milk.

Highly recommend the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and Giraffe centre tour!

Published on Nov, 2024

This is a highly recommended tour. I did the half day tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. Learning about the inspiring work that the Sheldrick wildlife trust do in rehabilitating elephant orphans was joyful and uplifting. And watching the feeding was a wonderful experience. Titus my tour guide, was professional and friendly.

Giraffe Centre and Elephant orphanage Nairobi

Published on Jul, 2024

Visited the Giraffe centre first. Became full of the head butt, make sure you have feed, ha ha ha. Pellets for feeding are given on entry. Make sure you go to the talk as informative and helps you understand the centre. Then off the elephants. 21 baby elephants ranging from 3 months to 3years and one baby rhino. The stories of how they became orphaned and the centre rescuing them as well as the history is worth listening to. Great work by the Sheldrick's, so much forward thinking. Make sure you buy a souvenir or donate on the way out, well worth it.

Baby elephants and giraffes? Pure happiness!

Published on Oct, 2023

Thoroughly enjoyable day, with my guide Stephen, who was very enthusiastic. His love for the animals shone through and made the experience extra special. The giraffes were amazing and the baby elephants.....well what can you say about baby elephants, they were just gorgeous. Both facilities were amazing in the care they give these young animals as the slowly introduce them into the wild after they have raised them to be able to care for themselves .

Amazing day trip!

Published on Jun, 2023

We had the most amazing day with Wellington, our guide! We went for a half a day tour (giraffe center, elephant orphamage, bead fabric), everything was well planned out and on time. Very friendly and helpful guide, also took us to a local place for lunch where we tried real african food, loved it! Giving 10/10 for this trip and recommend Wellington a 100%. Greetings from Lithuania!
