After breakfast at your hotel, depart with your professional driver-guide for a full-day wildlife and conservation experience in Nairobi. Discover Kenya's remarkable wildlife, learn about elephant rescue and rehabilitation, and encounter endangered Rothschild's giraffes.

1. Nairobi National Park

Begin your day with a game drive at Nairobi National Park, one of the few wildlife parks located next to a major capital city. Explore its open grasslands, acacia woodland and riverine habitats while searching for lions, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, ostriches and endangered black rhinos.

Enjoy the unique scenery of wildlife roaming freely against the backdrop of Nairobi's skyline. Your experienced driver-guide will share insights into animal behaviour, the park's ecosystem and Kenya's wildlife conservation efforts.

2. Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

Continue to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust's Nairobi Nursery for a scheduled public visit. This renowned conservation organisation rescues and rehabilitates orphaned elephants, with the goal of returning them to the wild.

During your visit, learn about the elephants' rescue stories, their rehabilitation journey and the dedicated work of their keepers. You will have the opportunity to observe the young elephants during their feeding and mud-bath session.

Important: Public visits require advance booking and are subject to the Trust's visiting arrangements. The safari schedule should be planned around the confirmed visit.

3. Lunch in Karen

After the elephant nursery visit, enjoy lunch at a selected restaurant in the Karen or Lang'ata area. Relax and sample local or international cuisine before continuing with the afternoon's conservation experience.

4. Giraffe Centre

Proceed to the Giraffe Centre in Lang'ata, a conservation and environmental education centre dedicated to the endangered Rothschild's giraffe.

Observe the giraffes from the elevated viewing platform and learn about the conservation initiatives that protect this threatened species. You may also have the opportunity to feed the giraffes using the approved food provided by the centre.

Depending on your interests and available time, explore the nature trail or visit the gift shop for souvenirs.

5. Return to Your Nairobi Hotel

After the visit, return to your hotel to relax and enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure. Your tour representative can reconfirm your domestic flight arrangements and transfer details for the following day's Maasai Mara safari.

After Breakfast check out from your city hotel for your transfer to Wilson Airport in Nairobi for a scheduled morning flight to the Maasai Mara. Enjoy aerial views of the Great Rift Valley and the spectacular Kenyan countryside.

On arrival at the designated airstrip, your safari guide will welcome you and transfer you to your lodge or tented camp. Wildlife viewing may begin during the transfer, depending on the airstrip and route.

After lunch and check-in, relax briefly before departing for an afternoon game drive across the reserve's rolling grasslands. Look out for elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, lions and other wildlife.

Return to camp as the sun sets, followed by dinner and an overnight stay in the African wilderness.

Start early with a morning game drive when wildlife is often active and the savannah is bathed in soft morning light.

With your experienced driver-guide, explore different sections of the reserve in search of the Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino. Other wildlife commonly seen includes cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, topis, impalas, zebras and wildebeest.

Return to the lodge for breakfast, or arrange a packed breakfast and lunch for an extended game drive. A full-day excursion offers more time to explore the plains and, when conditions permit, areas around the Mara River.

Return to camp in the late afternoon for relaxation, dinner and overnight accommodation.

Optional experience: A hot-air balloon safari at sunrise, usually followed by a bush breakfast, can be arranged at an additional cost and subject to availability.

Wake up to the sounds of the African bush and enjoy breakfast at camp. Depending on your flight schedule, you may have time for a short morning game drive before transferring to the airstrip.

Board your scheduled flight towards the Kenyan coast. Depending on the airline, season and operating timetable, the journey may be direct or may require a connection through Nairobi's Wilson Airport.

Upon arrival at Ukunda Airstrip, serving Diani Beach, you will be met by your transfer representative and driven to your beachfront hotel or resort.

Check in and enjoy lunch or refreshments before spending the afternoon relaxing beside the pool or walking along Diani's white-sand beach.
