Sheldrick, Giraffe Centre & Karen Blixen Day Tour
Nairobi's four best half-day attractions in one day: orphaned elephants, Rothschild's giraffes, Karen Blixen's house and Kazuri Beads.
This is the classic Nairobi day, and the order matters — the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust only opens to the public for one hour a day, so we start there at 11:00 for the orphaned elephants' feeding and mud bath.
From there it is a short drive to the Giraffe Centre to hand-feed endangered Rothschild's giraffes, then lunch, then Karen Blixen's farmhouse from Out of Africa, and finally the Kazuri Beads women's cooperative.
