DAY 1: NAIROBI Nairobi City

Modern Nairobi is still the safari capital of the Africa, but the modern world has quickly caught

up with the city. A frontier town no more, Nairobi has become one of Africa’s largest, and most

interesting cities.

Nairobi is a city that never seems to sleep. The entire town has a boundless energy, and is

thriving place where all of human life can be found.

This is not a modern capital separated from the great wilderness that surrounds it. Just outside the city is Nairobi National Park, 113 sq kms of

plains, cliffs and forest. The park is home to large herds of Zebra, Wildebeest, Buffalo, Giraffe and

more. Rhino, Cheetah, and a large number of Lions are all found here, living wild within 20

minutes of the centre of town.

DAY 1: NAIROBI Excursion Giraffe Centre

The AFEW (African Fund for Endangered Wildlife) Giraffe Centre is located in Langata,

just outside Nairobi.

conservation/education programs for Kenyan school children.

There is good information on giraffes available here, and an elevated feeding

platform where visitors meet the resident giraffes face to face.

Hand feeding giraffes is an education in itself. You will see, close at hand, how they

use their long, prehensile tongues to remove leaves from prickly acacia branches.
