Excursions

Nairobi City Tour

Attractions in Nairobi include the Nairobi National Park which is just 10 kilometres from the heart of the city centre and the Karen Blixen Museum which was once part of Karen Blixen’s vast coffee estate and made famous by the film ‘Out of Africa’. Other options include the Giraffe Centre, a sanctuary for the endangered Rothschild giraffe, Daphne Sheldrick's animal orphanage on the edge of Nairobi National Park which successfully raises orphaned wild animals (mainly elephant and rhino) and reintroduces them into the wild, the newly refurbished National Museum or visits to the open air Maasai markets.

Day trips

Day trips to Lake Naivasha (with a visit of “Hell’s Gate”) and Lake Nakuru - Kenya’s first rhino sanctuary and home to thousands of flamingos and a variety of other birds and wild animals are also offered.
