• Sheldrick Wildlife Trust - Depart from your Nairobi Hotel at 9:30 AM and travel to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Enjoy a guided walk through the center from 11 AM to 12 PM in an open area surrounded by a rope fence. Watch as the youngest elephants eagerly emerge from the bush to meet their keepers, who are ready with large bottles of milk. For the next 10-15 minutes, observe each young elephant as they drink their milk. Afterwards, enjoy watching the elephants play. Learn about their ages upon arrival at the orphanage, their rescue locations, and the circumstances that led to their need for care. Common reasons for orphaning include poaching of mothers, falling into wells, and human-wildlife conflicts. Once the youngest elephants are fed, they return to the bush, and the 2-3 year-olds take their turn. Some can feed themselves, while others are still assisted by their keepers. Watch them interact with their keepers and enjoy munching on branches from their favorite acacia trees.

• Learn to Make Jewelry & Pottery from Clay - Kazuri Beads Factory - The next stop is the Kazuri Bead Factory, a pottery company renowned for producing some of the world’s most beautiful beads. You will be guided through all the stages of production from start to finish. This unique factory employs single mothers from underprivileged neighborhoods, providing them with a livelihood to support their families. The pottery, ceramic, and bead factory employs these single mothers to create beautiful gifts and souvenirs, which are exported worldwide. There is a gift shop that stocks some of their products. Please note that the workshop is closed on Saturday afternoons and all day Sunday, but the gift shop remains open seven days a week.

• Nairobi National Park - Embark on a tour of Nairobi National Park through the main gate for a 3-hour game drive. Your guide will strive to show you a wide variety of animals. With some luck, you might see rhinos and lions preparing for the evening. A safari van with a pop-up roof is used for easier game viewing, rather than a small saloon car.
