Great tour and impeccable service! - We had a great time and excellent service from Meschak, our driver. The giraffe centre is absolutely amazing and the tour at the Karen Blixen museum is very descriptive and worth it!

(1/2) Day Tour to Giraffe Centre & Karen Blixen Museum, Nairobi - Our guide, Isaac, was wonderful and made sure we enjoyed the whole experience. I knew about Karen Blixen from Out of Africa but had no idea to the extent of her influence and support of the local community. And being up close and personal with the giraffes was unforgettable.

Great tour petting baby elephants and giraffes - Peter was the the best guide. He took us to the elephant rescue, the bead factory, the giraffe feeding and the Karen blixen museum.
He arranged her schedule to avoid crowds and work with our lunch schedule..... The lunch spot he selected was great

A wonderful day. Enjoyed so much and would highly recommend. - The baby elephants were so much fun to watch. They had mud-baths and rolled in the dirt, and you had to be careful you didn't also get a spray of mud. It was great fun!! The Giraffes were gorgeous, so graceful and gentle. They would gently take a food pellet from your fingers with their long, blue tongues. Such beautiful creatures.

Terrific way to spend long ayover day in Nairobi. - Beth did a fantastic job arranging our tour and ensuring we had the correct visas for our day trip. Peter picked us up early after our overnight flight and immigration.
We began with a tour of the Kobe Tough Bead and Leather center, learning how belts and the beads are made from Mt. Kenya clay, glazed then fashioned into beautiful jewelry.
Then we learned about the rescue and breeding program at the Giraffe Center and fed several giraffes. Next we went to the David Sheldrick Elephant and Rhino rescue and orphanage. Peter helped us arrive early so we could stand in prime position around the rope fence to take the best photos while the baby rhino then two groups of young elephants came into the area to be fed. Be careful next to the fence as red clay dust got on our clothes. Afterwards we ate at the Carnivore buffet restaurant then he returned us to the airport still 2 hours before our Kilamajaro flight. He was a safe, knowledgable driver with a bright clean car, space to keep our carryon luggage secure and an ability to have the best parking location for our convenience.

Satisfying - We enjoyed the bead making, the giraffe centre was good but a little rushed and Karen Blixens house was interesting. Would have preferred to spend more time with the giraffes and skip the craft shop.
