• Nairobi National Park - Nairobi, the world’s only wildlife capital, is home to Nairobi National Park. This unique park, the only protected wildlife area within a city, offers the chance to see at least four of the Big Five: Lions, Rhinos (both black and white), Buffalos, and the elusive Leopard. If you have a limited stay in Nairobi, whether a layover or a vacation, this park is a strategic spot to experience what Kenya has to offer. You can land at the airport, visit the park for a safari on the same day, and return to the airport for your next flight! An early morning departure is ideal for cooler temperatures and better chances of spotting free-roaming animals in the savanna. The pop-up safari vehicle provides a perfect view of Nairobi’s skyline and skyscrapers as a backdrop to your safari. Visit the historic ivory and rhino horn burning site located inside the park. All your questions will be answered to your satisfaction.
• Giraffe Centre - Next, you’ll be driven to the Giraffe Centre, where you’ll learn about the conservation efforts to protect the endangered Rothschild Giraffe.

The Giraffe Centre is an initiative of the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (A.F.E.W. Kenya), a Kenyan non-profit organization. Their main goal is to educate Kenyan school children and youth about their country’s wildlife and environment, while also offering local and international visitors a chance to interact with the world’s tallest species, the giraffe.

• KOBE TOUGH Beads & Leather - (OPTIONAL) You will then be driven to Kobe Tough Beads and Leather, a pottery company that creates some of the world’s most beautiful beads. You’ll be shown the entire process from start to finish. This unique factory employs single mothers from poor neighborhoods, providing them with a livelihood to support their families. It’s a women empowerment center for the community. The center was started by women who formerly worked for Kazuri Beads Factory when it shut down during the pandemic, offering them a reprieve and a way to continue providing for their families.

You then have the option of being driven to lunch and then to your hotel, or later being dropped off at the hotel.

• Utamaduni Craft Centre - (OPTIONAL) After the exciting beads factory tour, we can take you to the Utamaduni Crafts Centre at your leisure, or proceed to your drop-off location.

Utamaduni is the best African craft shop in Nairobi and a must-visit on the way to some of the exciting venues in Nairobi’s green suburb of Karen/Langata, known for the famous writer Karen Blixen’s original farm with beautiful views of the Ngong Hills. Incorporate a visit to this unique house of crafts into your Nairobi itinerary.

The shop, a converted Kikuyu house with 18 shops, is a treasure trove of African crafts, antiques, and art, with friendly staff to assist and help pack or ship items if needed.

After shopping, stop for refreshments in the large, beautiful garden restaurant. If you’re a bird watcher, the many exotic birds will keep you entertained.

Make sure to include Utamaduni in your Kenya holiday itinerary.

After such a colorful day, we will drop you off at your hotel or the airport to catch your flight.
