This curated half-day tour offers a glimpse into three of Nairobi’s most beloved and meaningful places. Begin at the Karen Blixen Museum, the former home of the famed writer of Out of Africa. Wander through the preserved farmhouse and gardens and imagine life in colonial-era Kenya through the lens of a woman who lived it, wrote it, and eventually left it behind.
Next, visit the Giraffe Centre, a sanctuary for the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe. From an elevated platform, stand eye to eye with these gentle giants, feed them by hand, or walk the nearby forest trail to see them roam. End the experience at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, home to rescued orphaned elephants and rhinos. Watch the young calves feed, play, and learn to be wild again—thanks to the quiet dedication of their human guardians. For those who wish, fostering an elephant is also possible.
Visiting hours at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust: Public visit at 11h00 / Private visit at 15h00 / Foster parents visit at 17h00. Advance bookings are required for the latter two.
