About this journey
This compact Nairobi wildlife programme combines two contrasting experiences within the city. The first section is a guided game drive in Nairobi National Park, where open plains and acacia habitat support rhinoceroses, lions, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, antelopes and many birds. The guide selects a realistic route for the available time and explains how a protected wildlife area functions beside a major capital city. The second section visits the Giraffe Centre in Langata for conservation education and close observation of Rothschild's giraffes from the visitor platform. Feeding may be available under the centre's current rules, but visitors must follow staff instructions and use only approved feed. The attraction is not a substitute for a national park safari, which is why the programme begins with wildlife viewing in a natural protected area. The route is suitable for families, first time visitors, transit travellers and guests who have limited time in Nairobi. It can operate in the morning or afternoon depending on attraction opening hours and traffic. The exact sequence may be reversed when required. Wildlife sightings, feeding opportunities and attraction access depend on natural conditions and current operating arrangements.
Travel style
