What you can expect

Start your tour with a pick up at 7.00 am at your hotel, followed by a drive to the Karen Blixen museum. You will then be driven to the old colonial house of Danish author, Karen Blixen. Now a museum, this property and the surrounding Ngong Hills were made famous in the book and then the film ‘Out of Africa’. It is a must see for all Danes and lovers of African history and romance.
Follow up by a short drive to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust which is an elephant rescue and rehabilitation centre, which opens doors at 11.00am and closes at 12.00am. You get a chance to know how the baby elephants are rescued and taken care of. At this place, you are allowed to touch the elephants as they move close to your standing point.
Head off to the Giraffe centre, headquarters for the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife made famous by 'Daisy Rothschild. It is quite an experience being eye to eye with a giraffe - you can get a real sense of the size of these gentle giants. There is also an education centre with lots of information about the breeding and conservation of the rarest of Kenya’s three giraffe species. Learn their behaviours, traits and more conservation education as you get up close and personal on a raised observation platform.
After the days excitement we shall proceed to drop you off at your city hotel or accommodation.
