I enjoyed feeding the giraffes at giraffe center, hearing the stories of all the animals at Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and listening to the inspirational stories at the Bead Factory. Overall, it was an amazing experience and my tour guide Calvin was amazing.

Begeisterndes Erlebnis mit unerwarteten zusätzlichen Stationen

Dr_R, Apr 2023
Beeindruckende Kombination aus unmittelbarem Kontakt zu den Giraffen bei ihrer Fütterung und der Beobachtung der majestätischen Tiere in weitläufiger Umgebung; interessante Hintergrundinformationen durch Personal; kein Gedränge. Unser Fahrer Dennis hat uns nicht nur sicher transportiert und jederzeit - z.B. bei Fotoaufnahmen - freundlich unterstützt. Gerne nahmen wir auch sein Angebot an, innerhalb des gebuchten Zeitrahmens einen Einblick in die manuelle Produktion der für Kenya typischen Perlen-Kreationen zu gewinnen und eine große Produktions- und Verkaufsstätte afrikanischen Kunsthandwerks zu besuchen. Eine in jeder Hinsicht äußerst lohnende Tour!
