About Nairobi National Park:

It occupies 117 square kilometers and was the first national park established in Kenya in 1946. The Park is the only wildlife park in the world where free ranging Lions and Rhinos share a city with humans. It is also the only protected wildlife area in the world bordering a capital city, Nairobi hence dubbed “The World’s Only Wildlife Capital.” Major wildlife attractions are the Black Rhino and the White Rhino, Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Hyena, Buffaloes, Giraffe, Zebra, Wildebeest, Elands, and about 400 species of Birds. Other attractions include the Ivory Burning Site Monument, and Nairobi Safari Walk.

No one knows how shy or social the animals will be.  It can never be guaranteed which animals will want to reveal themselves. But, Nairobi National Park is an excellent way for the children and family to learn and practice their tracking and spotting skills. So, be sure to have your binoculars in one hand and your camera in the other!

After the Game Drive we will drive North East to the outskirts of Nairobi to view Coffee Plantations. Traditionally, Kenya has been an agricultural country with Coffee Plantations forming its major cash crops. These plantations are not only a symbol of Kenya's Colonial past but are also a landmark of its vibrant economy.

About the Giraffe Center:

The Giraffe Center was started as a refuge for the endangered Rothschild Giraffe, translocated from Western Kenya. The Center is the perfect location to see giraffes, eye-to-eye, and feed them with specially made “giraffe pellets” - which they take from your hands by their sticky 25-inch blue gray tongues.

Lunch at a restaurant in Karen area.

We proceed to Mamba Village, a crocodile and ostrich farm (“mamba” is the Swahili name for crocodiles).

About Mamba Village:

Mamba Village is famous for its Crocodile Farm. The pens are home to an estimated 70 Nile Crocodiles. Four Maasai Ostriches can also be found strutting around their pen with grace. Visitors often come into direct personal contact with them when given the opportunity to feed these gallant birds. The experience is always satisfying.

About Amboseli National Park:

The park is located 230 kilometers south of Nairobi and close to the Tanzania border and Mt. Kilimanjaro. It encompasses 39,206 hectares (392 km2; 151 sq. mi) in size, at the core of an 8,000 square kilometers (3,100 square miles) ecosystem that spreads across the Kenya-Tanzania border.

It is famous for being the best place in Africa to get close to free-ranging Elephants among other wildlife species. The Elephants were made famous in the documentary series, Echo and Other Elephants, by renowned Wildlife Conservationist Sir David Attenborough and Cynthia Moss.

Other attractions of the Park include opportunities to meet the Maasai People and spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa and the highest free-standing Mountain in the World.

In Amboseli’s case, her beauty lies in her big skies and far horizons, combined with swampy springs and dry and dusty earth, trampled by hundreds of animals.

Amboseli has an endless underground water supply filtered through thousands of feet of volcanic rock from Mt. Kilimanjaro’s ice cap, which funnel into two clear water springs in the heart of the park.

However, the climatic pendulum can swing from drought to flood, and in the early 1990’s ceaseless rain, changed Amboseli into a swamp. A few years later the rains failed, and the grass-covered plains turned to dust. You will witness this cycle of life firsthand.
