- Giraffe Centre - The tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel or home in Nairobi. You’ll be driven to the Giraffe Centre, where you can feed Rothschild giraffes under the guidance of keepers. Since its opening in 1979, the center has rescued, hand-reared, and released about 500 orphaned giraffes back into the wild. This attraction allows you to hand-feed the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe and provides an excellent education on their physiology, behaviors, and habitat preferences.
- Sheldrick Wildlife Trust - Next, you’ll be driven to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, where you can walk through the center from 11am to 12pm in an open space with a rope fence around it. The youngest elephants come out of the bush to greet their keepers, who are ready with giant bottles of milk. For the next 10-15 minutes, you can watch each little one drink their milk. Then, you’ll have time to observe the elephants play. You’ll learn about their ages when they arrived at the orphanage, where they were rescued from, and the circumstances that led to their rescue. Common reasons for being orphaned include mothers being poached, falling into wells, and human-wildlife conflict. After the youngest are fed, they are led back into the bush, and it’s the turn of the 2-3 year-olds. Some can feed themselves, while others are still fed by their keepers. Watch them interact with their keepers, munch on branches of their favorite acacias, and play with water and mud in half drums.
- KOBE TOUGH beads & leather - The next stop is a visit to the Kazuri Bead Factory/Kobe Beads Factory, a pottery company that creates some of the world’s most beautiful beads. You’ll be shown all the stages from start to finish. This unique factory employs single mothers from poor neighborhoods, providing them with a livelihood to support their families. The pottery, ceramic, and bead factory employs single mothers to create its beautiful gifts and souvenirs, which are now exported worldwide. There is a gift shop that stocks some of their wares.
