Program details

Nairobi National Park is a unique wildlife haven located within sight of Nairobi city's skyline. Here, various herbivores can be seen roaming the park's grasslands. Lion, cheetah and leopard are some of the predators that can be spotted, together with over 300 bird species. Lunch will be served at a local restaurant. Here we have an opportunity to sample local cuisine and engage with the locals. After lunch we drive on to the Karen Blixen Museum, of the 'Out Of Africa' fame. This museum takes visitors back to the colonial period, reconstructing the lives of those who inhabited this region. We will see some of the original antique furniture and a re-constructed colonial coffee factory. From here we drive on to the Giraffe Centre, where we have an opportunity to interact closely with the endangered Rothschild giraffe.
