Many of our fantastic Kenya Safari Holidays begin with a day at leisure in Nairobi. Here are some of our most popular excursions that can be pre-booked. Please call one of our specialist travel consultants on 01235 552 500 for prices and information.

Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage
From £25 per person
Daphne Sheldrick's Elephant Orphanage is located in the Nairobi Game Park and was originally started by David Sheldrick. Orphaned baby elephants from all over Kenya are looked after here. Visitors are allowed daily 11am-12 noon. Donations are welcome.
 

The Giraffe Centre
The Langata Giraffe Centre is situated on both the edge of the Nairobi National Park and the edge of the residential area known as Karen. It resides on the grounds of Giraffe Manor, formerly the private home of Jock and Betty Leslie-Melville. It is now an inn, where during lunch, guests can expect to see a giraffe's head swooping in a window in the dining room, begging for food. The park has a small herd of Rothschild's Giraffe, which are an endangered species, and at the visitors' centre there is a building with a walkway at just below the full height of an adult Giraffe. There you can feed them with specially prepared pellets provided by the staff. Great fun for all, not just the kids!

Karen Blixen and Giraffe Centre
From £44 per person
Drive towards the Ngong Hills and through small villages to the Karen Blixen Museum - the house that for many years was her home. Driving through the resident area of Langata, the tour continues to the Giraffe Centre where Daisy - the famous Rothschild giraffe can be seen and fed at the beautiful home overlooking the Ngong Hills. After tea at the Giraffe Centre, return to Nairobi.

Nairobi City Tour
From £55 per person
Let our experienced drivers show you around Nairobi. The sightseeing tour includes a visit to the colourful City Market, Parliament Buildings and the Kenyatta International Conference Centre, along with other places of interest. During the tour our friendly drivers will be more than happy to share their vast knowledge of Nairobi by answering any questions.

The Carnivore Restaurant
From £32 per person
The Carnivore is considered 'Africa's Greatest Eating Experience'. Whole joints of meat - legs of lamb and pork, haunches of exotic meat (Ostrich, Zebra and crocodile when available), rumps of beef, sirloins, racks of lamb, spare ribs, sausages, chicken wings, skewered kidneys and other tasty morsels - are roasted on traditional Maasai swords over a huge charcoal pit that dominates the entrance of the restaurant. Constantly basted and turned until cooked to perfection, the meat is succulent and well flavoured. An army of carvers move from table to table carrying the Maasai swords laden with different prime meats which they carve onto the sizzling, cast iron plates in front of each guest. Accompanying the meat feast is a wide selection of salads and vegetable side dishes, and a variety of exotic sauces made from the Carnivore's own recipes. A vegetarian menu is also offered.

Includes a 3-course meal + coffee and return transfers from Nairobi hotel to the restaurant for either lunch or dinner.
