Follow in the footsteps of Karen Blixen as you travel towards the Ngong Hills, you feel swept immediately onto the film set of Out of African the moment you arrive. The old colonial farm house is simple; housing a few items that Karen Blixen chose and once enjoyed herself. There are also the colorful gardens to explore, where several old coffee machines have lain untouched for decades. From here visit the Giraffe Centre, where the highly endangered Rothschild giraffe lives in peace. The site has an elevated viewing-cum-feeding platform convenient for children.
Visit Daphne Sheldrick Elephant orphanage situated on the outskirts of Nairobi. The sanctuary is run by Daphne Sheldrick and is set in the grounds of her house. Here you will see the orphaned animals and meet the people who handle and care for these animals. It’s an interesting excursion and the teams running the orphanage are always willing to spend time answering any questions guest have to ask. Upon completion, return to the hotel or city centre by approx. 12.45 (lunch is not included). It is suggested that due to demand, visits should be pre-booked and at time there may not be any animals in care. Visiting time is limited to approximately one hour and is between 1100hrs and 1200hrs daily when the baby elephants take their mud baths.
