ITINERARY:

After being picked up at your hotel early in the morning at 06:00, you will head towards Nairobi National Park, arriving at around 06:30. From there, take an exciting 4-hour game drive through the park. Stay on the lookout for many species of game animals, including black rhinos, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, buffalo's, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeest, as well as countless species of wild birds. The park’s open border on its southeast perimeter allows a corridor for the natural migration of game animals during the seasonal rains. Other attractions include the ivory burning site monument, and walking trails at hippo pools.

You will exit the Nairobi National Park at 10.30hrs to be taken to the Elephant Orphanage Conservation Center, Once you arrive you will take a walk through the nursery and you will explore the path and trails the infants take. See a mud or elephants being fed. Walk around the stables that the elephants sleep in at night accompanied by their elephant keepers. The feeding time is from 11am to 12 pm. There after you will head to the Carnivore restaurant for lunch.

Famous for it's succulent steaks, Barbecue dishes and huge variety of game meat. The Carnivore has almost now become one of Nairobi's "musts" and as much a tourist attraction as the National Museum! The Carnivore Based on the Brazilian concept of an open coal fire, the focal point of the main restaurant, an enormous variety of meat, is roasted on huge metal spears and then carved at the tables on to piping hot plates. Fresh salads, unusual side dishes and assorted tasty sauces accompany beef, pork, lamb, goat, sausages, quail, chicken, gazelle, hartebeeste, zebra, wildebeest, and occasionally crocodile . If you have any room left after all these unlimited servings, a variety of puddings are on offer before mugfuls of Kenya coffee herald at the end of the meal.

After lunch we head to the Giraffe Center the headquarter for the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife made famous by 'Daisy Rothschild', a giraffe calf rescued from Soi, on the Western Kenya border. Daisy and her family form only a small part of a herd of these gentle giants, living in a semi wild state at Giraffe Manor. These animals will come to a protecting wall to be fed. Make most use of your visit when you go to the Giraffe center nature trail up until the Gogo river. This is what most people don't get to see and it's a fascinating place to walk in the nature, with bushes on either side and birds giving the most wondrous songs. Reach down to the river and search for giraffes in the wild. The trail will take about 1 hour going up and down in a relaxing pace.
You then drive Karen Blixen's home, "Mbogani House", made famous by the film 'Out of Africa'. It has been restored by the Danish Community of Kenya, and comes under the umbrella of the National Museums of Kenya. Karen Blixen lived in the house from 1917 to 1931 when her farm had to be sold and she left Kenya. Inside the house you can see the books and cuckoo clock which were presented to the museum from the sets of the film. From the garden you can enjoy the magnificent views of the Ngong Hills and at the front of the house look out for the original millstone tables from which she conducted so much of her farm business. Leaving the Museum, drive or walk a short distance to Kazuri Ltd where a team of African women offer paints and necklaces.

This will be towards the evening and rush hour therefore you will head back to your hotel with the current pace.  and dropped off at your hotel. drop off time will vary from hotel to hotel and traffic flow during that day.
