- Giraffe Centre - The tour starts by picking you up from Nairobi Airport or your Nairobi Hotel. You will then proceed to the Giraffe Centre, the headquarters 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 are part of a small herd of these gentle giants living in a semi-wild state at Giraffe Manor. You will also learn about their behaviors, traits, and receive more conservation education. These animals will come to a protective wall to be fed.
- Sheldrick Wildlife Trust - The next stop is the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage. Tour the Elephant Orphanage with a walk through the center from 11am - 12pm in an open space, with a rope fence around it. The youngest elephants come trotting out of the bush to greet their keepers, who stand ready with giant bottles of milk. For the next 10-15 minutes, you can watch each little one slurp and gargle their milk. When they’re done, there’s water to play with and keepers to nudge and get hugs from. The most common reasons for becoming orphaned are: mothers being poached, falling into wells, and human/wildlife conflict. Once the youngest are all fed, they are led back into the bush, and it’s the turn of the 2-3 year olds. Some of them can feed themselves, while others are still fed by their keepers. It’s very cute to watch them hold their giant milk bottles in their trunks and close their eyes with joy as they quickly drink several gallons of milk. Afterward, you will be dropped back at the Airport.
