6:00 AM – Departure & Nairobi National Park Safari
Your day kicks off early at 6:00 AM, as we pick you up from your hotel for a short drive to Nairobi National Park—a true gem where wildlife thrives against the backdrop of Nairobi’s skyline. We’ll arrive by 6:30 AM, just in time to catch the best wildlife action during the cool morning hours.
What to Expect on the Game Drive
Nairobi National Park is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including:
- Lions – Keep your eyes peeled for the park’s famous lions, often spotted in the early morning.
- Black and White Rhinos – One of the few places in Kenya where you can see these magnificent creatures roaming freely.
- Buffaloes, Giraffes, and Zebras – Easily spotted along the open plains.
- Cheetahs and Leopards – Though elusive, they occasionally make an appearance.
- Over 400 Bird Species – From majestic eagles to vibrant kingfishers, bird lovers will have plenty to see.
With our customized 4×4 Safari Land Cruisers, you’ll enjoy unobstructed views and excellent photo opportunities from the pop-up roof.
After an extensive game drive exploring different sections of the park, we’ll start making our way to our next destination.
10:45 AM – David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (Elephant Orphanage)
At 10:45 AM, we head to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, a world-renowned elephant orphanage dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating orphaned elephants. The highlight is the 11:00 AM feeding and mud-bathing session, where you’ll get up close to these playful, rescued elephants as their keepers explain the vital conservation work being done. This experience lasts until 12:00 PM, leaving you inspired by Kenya’s commitment to wildlife protection.
12:15 PM – Giraffe Centre Experience
From the elephant orphanage, we make our way to the famous Giraffe Centre, home to the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe.

1:00 PM – Kazuri Beads Factory
Next, we take a cultural detour at Kazuri Beads, a social enterprise that empowers local women by producing beautiful, handmade ceramic jewelry and pottery. A short tour of the workshop reveals the intricate bead-making process, and you can browse their store for unique, high-quality souvenirs to take home.
1:30 PM – Lunch in Karen or Galleria Mall
After an exciting morning of wildlife and culture, it’s time to relax and enjoy a well-deserved lunch at one of Karen’s top restaurants or Galleria Mall.
