Day 2
Early morning we visit the Giraffe Centre. Giraffe Centre offers a thrilling and unique experience of getting close, feeding and touching the tallest land animal, the giraffe. This sanctuary takes care of the endangered Rothschild giraffe, a giraffe sub-species found only in the grasslands of East Africa. The centre has helped breed them and introduce them back to the wild.
Next we visit David Sheldrick Elephant Sanctuary. Here we will interact with baby elephants. These baby elephants have been rescued from various parts of the country when their mothers have died. They are nursed for several years and introduced back to the wild. At any given time there are about 25 calves.
Next we visit Nairobi Safari walk. With its raised wooden boardwalk that allows for uninterrupted views of the animals, the Safari Walk is a show case for Kenya’s Parks and Reserves, allowing visitors to discover what they can expect to see across the country. Visitors can see a sample of the country’s rich animal life including the rare bongo, white rhino and albino zebra as well as big cats, antelopes and primates. It is also home to some 150 species of local trees.
Finally, we visit Nairobi animal orphanage. The Nairobi Animal Orphanage is located in the Nairobi National Park. It serves a treatments and rehabilitation centre for wild animals. The Orphanage hosts lions, cheetahs, hyenas, jackals, serval cats, rare Sokoke cats, warthogs, leopards, various monkeys, baboons and buffalo.
