Itinerary
Start your day with a 6:00 AM pickup from your Nairobi hotel for a 5-hour tour to Nairobi National Park. Joined by an expert local driver/guide, traverse the park’s wildlife trails to spot lions, giraffes, ostriches, hippos, white and black rhinos, buffaloes, and other wildlife. Visit the iconic Ivory Burning Site Monument during the game drive, which concludes around 10:30 AM. Next, head to the renowned David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage to observe rescued baby elephants as they eagerly drink their formula. Afterward, enjoy an optional coffee break. The tour wraps up with a drop-off back at your Nairobi hotel around 2:00 PM.
Keepers introduce each baby elephant orphan, sharing touching stories of their rescues while the playful calves guzzle milk, wallow in mud, wrestle friends, or take dust baths. The one-hour session (11.a.m to 12 noon) highlights the Trust's vital work in hand-rearing these infants until they can rejoin wild herds.
Guests at the Giraffe Centre in Nairobi will encounter endangered Rothschild giraffes up close from elevated observation platforms. The site features a serene 95-acre nature sanctuary ideal for birdwatching and spotting warthogs or bushbucks along wooded trails. Educational displays highlight giraffe conservation efforts, offering insights into these majestic animals' habitat and protection.

We had an early start after a late flight but it was well worth it. Our Guide, Julius, was very knowledgeable and really knew the best places to go. Within a few minutes of entering the park, as it began to light up and the fog began to clear we saw Rhinos! We got close to Rhinos, zebra, giraffe, and buffalo to name but a few! We were lucky to get a lot of birds as well and even as Serval Cat! The visit to the Elephant Santuary was really good and hearing about the work which they carry out. The Giraffe centre was a brief visit but worth it to get close to the giraffes and feed them!!

What an amazing way to begin our trip to Africa. Our guide Peter was so amazing! He was informative, had an excellent eye for wildlife and treated us like royalty. We would give him 10 stars if it were possible. We were picked up at 5am and by 7 am we had seen 4 of the big 5!!! This park is chock full of wildlife and so beautiful. The Sheldrick Nursery is a do not miss! Also the Giraffe Center. He took us to a wonderful little restaurant for a tasty lunch of African food. You will adore this park and day! (Ask for Peter!)

5 stars. Julius was a fantastic guide and driver from start to finish. He was friendly, knowledgeable, punctual, and made the entire day feel easy and enjoyable. Nairobi National Park, the elephant sanctuary, and the giraffe centre were all incredible, and Julius helped us make the most of every stop. We felt safe and well taken care of throughout the tour. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone visiting Nairobi.

This was an excellent private tour and Peter was a great guide! He took us all around the National Park and we were able to see so much wildlife (lions, rhinos, buffalo, ostriches, baboons, hippos, etc). I would definitely recommend the tour!

I booked this trip as a solo female traveller and I am so glad that I did. I had Evans as my tour guide and he was great. He arrived promptly at my hotel to pick me up and was very informative throughout the drive. He knew all the spots to go to to spot the animals I wanted to see and had a lot of knowledge about the history of the park. He was also very patient and even took time out to drive me to a spot to get coffee on the way to the Giraffe Centre. It was a great experience and I'm glad I had Evans as my tour guide.
Dear Temisa, Thank you very much for your kind review. We are happy to know that you enjoyed the tour with us and that Evans made your visit to Nairobi Park a good one. We truly appreciate your support and kind words. We look forward to hosting you again soon.
Had a wonderful experience with Julius including a very unique and intimate encounter with some white rhino. Definitely plan $100 USD for the extra National Park Fee, but worth every penny.

Our driver and privaye tour guide Peter was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and personal. The pickup was on time and we were able to catch the sunrise and see multiple animals. We also let him know that we had an appointment later that day and need to be back at the hotel ealier. He made it happen with the park, elephant sanctuary, and giraffe experience and got us back in time. Just a wonderful day for my family, and a great way to kick off our trip to Kenya.
Thank you for choosing Wasili Kenya safaris for your tour, we are truly grateful for the positive feedback. We look forward to hosting you again and any of your friends that you may refer to us. We wish you all the best in your efforts.
The guide was right on time and because this is a private tour, I got to spend as much or as little time as I wanted at the elephant/giraffe stops. And the price was cheaper than the same tours I saw that were up to 30 people so definitely recommend this company!
