    Getting started

    Your day begins with hotel pickup in Nairobi, where you meet your professional driver and guide and board your selected private or shared safari vehicle, either an open-top tour van or 4x4 jeep. Travel directly toward Nairobi National Park with your passport or ID ready for park entry. Once your Nairobi National Park entry ticket is arranged, you continue into the park for the first game drive.

    Nairobi National Park

    What to expect

    Nairobi National Park sits just outside the city and is the first main stop on your full-day safari. You spend the morning on an extensive game drive inside the park.

    Features

    • During the extensive game drive, you travel through open savannah and bush areas as your guide helps you look for wildlife that lives inside Nairobi National Park.

    • Access to the park is included with your Nairobi National Park entry ticket, which your professional driver and guide handle so you can focus on the game viewing.

    • Depending on your booking, you explore the park in a private 4x4 jeep safari vehicle, a private open-top safari tour van, a shared 4x4 jeep safari vehicle, or a shared open-top safari tour van, each with open viewing for photography.

    Elephant orphanage

    What to expect

    After leaving the park, you continue by vehicle to the elephant orphanage, a conservation center where young elephants are cared for. You spend time observing them during a scheduled visit.

    Features

    • At the elephant orphanage, you watch the young elephants in their secure viewing area as staff demonstrate feeding and care routines for the rescued animals.

    • Entry to this stop is covered by your elephant orphanage entry fee, already included in your experience, so you do not need to purchase a separate ticket on site.

    • Your professional driver and guide manage timing and transport between Nairobi National Park and the elephant orphanage, keeping the day on schedule.

    Giraffe center

    What to expect

    The final main stop is the giraffe center, which focuses on conservation and education. You spend your visit viewing giraffes from designated platforms and walkways.

    Features

    • At the giraffe center, you see giraffes at close range from raised viewpoints designed for observation and photos in a controlled setting.

    • Your giraffe center entry fee is included, giving you access to the center’s viewing areas without additional payment at the entrance.

    • After your time at the giraffe center, your driver and guide return you by vehicle to your Nairobi hotel, completing the hotel pickup and drop-off service included in your safari.
