The Giraffe Center is home to a towering crew of endangered Rothschild’s giraffe. Nairobi’s Giraffe Centre supports conservation work and educational programs across Kenya and here visitors have the opportunity to support these efforts while getting up close & personal with Rothschild’s giraffe and maybe even stealing a kiss. After your visit with the giraffe and browsing thru the education center, you can head out on a self-guided forest walk in the adjacent Gogo River sanctuary, a 1.5 km trail with great views of Nairobi and the Ngong Hills.

Officially opened in 1946 by conservationist Mervyn Cowie, Nairobi National Park was the first national park established in Kenya. Only a fence separates the 28,963-acre park and its wildlife from the city. Here you can spot free-roaming wildlife species such as lion, black rhino, giraffe, various species of antelope, and an abundance of birdlife against the dramatic backdrop of Nairobi’s skyline.

An early-morning departure means cooler temperatures and the chance to see the animals when they are most active, prowling grassy plains and acacia bush.

Altho Crescent Island Game Sanctuary is surrounded by water, it is actually a peninsula and currently only accessible by boat. You can explore Lake Naivasha’s wildlife on a 1hour boat tour and spot the hippos that linger just at the surface of the water. The shores also host abundant birdlife including pelican, cormorant, fish-eagle with their haunting cry, lesser flamingo and African spoonbill.
