Nairobi National Park, Sheldrick baby elephants, and giraffe feeding in one packed day with city-to-wild views and conservation support.

“Amazing safari! The day before, they sent all the information and the link to buy tickets for Nairobi National Park. They were punctual in the morning, and the guide, Harrison, and the driver were kind and knowledgeable. During the park tour, we saw lions, zebras, hippos, rhinos, crocodiles, impalas, and other animals, all up close! The visit to the Animal Orphanage was wonderful: the baby elephants were sweet, even there were a baby rhino and a baby zebra. Feeding the giraffes at the Giraffe Center was great fun. Everything was perfect, thank you.”
