Top Nairobi Safaris

This experience starts with a game drive through the Nairobi National Park, then visits the Elephant Orphanage and the Giraffe Centre where you have the opportunity to feed the giraffes. Don't be put off by the idea that the National Park is akin to a zoo - it is not. Our guide was knowledgeable and was able to get us into great position to see and photograph animals going about their normal daily business without disturbing them. Not just the Big 5 (we saw all of these except the elusive leopard), but also a genuine zebra crossing, less common animals including a black backed jackal and a serval trotting along the road with her kittens behind. The elephant orphanage is apt to be crowded so grab a vantage point as soon as you arrive - there is no opportunity for interaction with these babies as the ultimate aim is to re-wild them so random human contact is not appropriate. The giraffe centre however is designed for interaction - it's unstructured though and your time with the animals is subject to their whims, so if they all decide to walk away you're left hoping they'll come back! It's very popular and busy. The warthog clean-up team on the ground happily accept any dropped giraffe food.

The city tour was great and the tour guide gets 5 stars. The only problem was needing more info on where to meet the guide in the park which was resolved quickly after contacting the tour company and no hotel pickup. I had to take an Uber to the park for the tour.

This was a phenomenal experience. Learning about farming and processing tea was very interesting. The tour guides were great and knowledgeable. The walk through the property was alittle challenging given the hilly terrain. Would highly recommend wearing sneakers. Tea tasting was fun and delicious.
