7:00 AM – 8:00 AM: Pickup from Nairobi (Hotel, JKIA, or Residence) & Transfer to Nairobi National Park
Your Nairobi Day tour starts early. Our professional safari guide will pickup up from the agreed location – JKIA, Nairobi hotel, or Residence. Our driver arrives at the pick-up location 30 minutes before the agreed pickup time to ensure everything is in order.
After greeting, the tour guide will brief you about your Nairobi National Park half-day tour and the visit to Giraffe Center. If you are from JKIA, Nairobi National Park from the airport is only 33 minutes away.
8: 00 AM – 1:00 PM: Game Drives at Nairobi National Park
Upon arriving, the safari guide will pay the Nairobi National Park entry fee and then drive inside the park. The guide will give you enough time to visit the washroom to ensure you feel comfortable as they pay the entry fee.
You should be driving through the gate straight into the thick forest for about 10 minutes a few minutes later. The animal sighting should start when you reach the savannah section, where you can easily spot the wildlife.
You may spot Topis, elands, antelopes, zebras, gazelles, and giraffes during the initial stages of the game drive.
The safari guide will continue to look for these animals, and soon you will find yourself at Kingfisher Picnic Site. Everyone loves to take photos to capture the memory; the guide will stop here for a few minutes.
The second part of our game drive should see the driver take you around the park for about 2 hours. This time you might get to spot lions, rhinos, buffalos, and more antelopes and zebras. You also head to one of the several dams inside Nairobi National Park to look for hippos and crocodiles.
This time you might also come across birds that feed and live in/near water bodies and waterbucks.
1:00 PM to 2:00 PM: Transfer to Giraffe Center and Lunch Break
The guide will head out of Nairobi National Park and drive toward the Giraffe Center. Our driver will stop along the way to give you time to pop-in in at a hotel and take lunch. The drive can take up to 40 minutes.
14:00 PM -17:00 PM: Feed, Kiss, and Pet a Giraffe at Giraffe Center
After lunch, you head to the Giraffe Center for a relaxing afternoon, where you get intact with the Giraffes. This is the opportunity to take photos while feeding the giraffes pellets using your hand or mouth.
Get into the cultural center surrounded by the standing podium to learn about the conservation stories. You will also spot some wild pigs and dozens of birds perching in the trees. You don’t need to worry about the Giraffe Center entry fee; it is included in the package.
From here, the safari guide will transfer you to JKIA or the agreed drop off location.
