Nairobi
National Park | Bomas of Kenya | Giraffe Center - 2 Days
Day
1: Arrive in Nairobi
On
arrival in Nairobi, you will be transferred to your fabulous Five Star
accommodations.
Day 2: Nairobi
Today
you get an early start to an experience of a lifetime. Only a few minutes’
drive from the center of Nairobi, a variety of wildlife lies and roams freely
in this unique park which covers an area of 44 square miles. The chief
attraction at the Nairobi National Park is the African Lion. The only member of
the big five not found here is the elephant. This tour also includes a visit to
the animal orphanage near the main entrance of the park, where sick and stray
animals are kept before returning to the wild.
For
lunch, you will be immersed in an authentic Kenyan cultural experience at the
Bomas of Kenya. This is an amazing set up that offers you a firsthand
experience of the diverse culture and lifestyle of many of Kenya's 42 tribal
groups. Enjoy an array of rich traditional dances, local villages and
handicrafts on display here. Try authentic Kenyan foods.
Your
afternoon will be spent visiting the Rothschild Giraffe Center where you can
feed and visit with the large population of giraffes.
About the Giraffe Center: The Giraffe Center is a non-profit
organization founded by Betty and Jock Leslie-Melville in 1979. Situated in
Langata, just 20 km outside Nairobi City Center, the Center is dedicated to
educating the Kenyan youth in conservation of the environment and the
preservation of endangered wildlife and their habitats. The Center is home to
endangered Rothschild giraffes, only found in the semi-arid regions of Africa
where trees and bushes are plentiful. They live to be about thirty years old
and their main enemy is man, who kills them for their meat and hide. Their main
defense is their keen eyesight, running speed (up to 35 mph) and their powerful
kicks.
The
conservation of the Rothschild became necessary following the destruction of
their natural habitat in Western Kenya and their slaughter in Uganda during
Gen. Iddi Amin's era. There are over 500 Rothschild giraffes in Kenya today
including seven at the Center. Their conservation is a success story in Kenya
and the world. The Giraffe center also home to the leopard tortoise and boasts
over a hundred acres of undeveloped and undisturbed indigenous forest, the
remnant of the natural forest that once surrounded Nairobi.
Enjoy
a relaxing cup of tea at the captivating Giraffe Manor then return to your
hotel to refresh and have a quick dinner before being transferred to the
airport for your flight back home.
