SAFARI IN THE “GREEN CITY” NAIROBI

Descrizione

FIRST DAY OF SAFARI
Departure for Malindi National Airport or Mombasa International Airport, with private transport, to board the internal scheduled flight to Nairobi.
In Nairobi, waiting for us upon arrival, there will be a private vehicle with driver that we will use to move around the capital throughout our stay.
From the airport we head to IBIS Styles Nairobi Westlands, the hotel where we will be staying in Nairobi, for check in and room assignment.
Lunch is provided at The Carnivore Restaurant, a renowned restaurant in Nairobi whose specialty is grilled meat.
After lunch, departure from the restaurant in the direction of the “Giraff Center” where we will be able to admire the tallest animal species in the world up close.
The Giraffe Center is a creation of the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (A.F.E.W. Kenya), a non-profit organization in Kenya. The main purpose is to educate Kenyan school children and young people about the fauna and environment of their country, as well as to offer local and international visitors the opportunity to come into close contact with the tallest species in the world, the giraffe.
At the end of the visit in the late afternoon return to the hotel for a bit of relaxation before dinner at the hotel on its wonderful panoramic terrace.

SECOND DAY OF SAFARI
Breakfast at the hotel and departure for the “Nairobi Animal Orphanage” located in the Nairobi National Park, this animal orphanage is the oldest of its kind in Kenya.
Founded in 1964, the Nairobi Animal Orphanage is home to and cares for over 20 species of animals and birds in need of rehabilitation after injury or neglect. Lions, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas, ostriches, parrots and other animals inhabit the orphanage, which welcomes over 200,000 visitors every year. The Nairobi Animal Orphanage is both a conservation facility for animals in need and an educational resource for the public, mainly school-age children who otherwise would not have the opportunity to see these animals in the wild. In addition to the beauty of the orphanage, which derives from the possibility of seeing these healthy creatures in their natural habitat, each of the orphaned animals was welcomed for medical treatment before being placed in an individual rehabilitation program for a second chance in life. The purpose of the orphanage is to strengthen the animals so that they can eventually be released into the wild.
Lunch at the Nairobi National Park restaurant.
After lunch, Jeep safari in Nairobi National Park until sunset.
At the end of the visit in the late afternoon return to the hotel for a bit of relaxation before dinner at the hotel on its wonderful panoramic terrace.

THIRD DAY OF SAFARI
Breakfast at the hotel and departure for the “Nairobi National Museum”, the Museum is located at Museum Hill, about 10 minutes drive from the center of Nairobi accessible by both public and private transport. Built in 1929, this is the flagship museum of Kenya’s National Museums, housing renowned collections of Kenyan history, nature, culture and contemporary art.
The Nairobi National Museum aims to interpret Kenya’s rich heritage and offers visitors a unique stop to sample the country’s rich heritage for both education and leisure. In addition to the museum, visitors have access to a variety of shops and restaurants, as well as botanical gardens that offer a serene setting.
The Nairobi Snake Park and the Nairobi Gallery are part of the Nairobi National Museum.
At the end of the visit around 10.00 am we head to the “David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust”, What makes the visit special? Everyone has their own, but certainly the thrill of being in contact with such an important animal and, at that very helpless moment, fills the heart. The guides will warn you of one thing: elephants are like little children. They will want to play, and they will be sociable: you can touch and touch them, but do not bow down if you do not want the elephant to throw itself on you for fun (they already weigh up to over 200kg).
The show has a very important function: to educate visitors to respect this species.
Elephants are witnesses and reminders of the brutality of poachers who, for futile reasons (ivory), kill adults and abandon their young to fend for themselves. While on the one hand the guides feed the impetuous elephants with spectacular gags and skits, on the other, they tell the stories that characterize them of each. “They are never funny stories”.
The tour, uplifting, touching and fun, also suitable for children, with the due caution of parents, ends in the boutique whose funds are entirely devolved to the maintenance of the park: you can also adopt an elephant until it reaches the age for the reintegration into nature, where, little by little, man will be forgotten again, returning completely wild.
At the end of the visit we will head to the FOGO GAUCHO CHURRASCARIA Brazilian restaurant, where you can eat with over 17 cuts of juicy steaks and 25 different fresh and crunchy salads, every lunch and dinner.
After lunch, departure for Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, our adventure in Nairobi is coming to an end, a little richer in emotions we will board the return flight to Mombasa or Malindi, the expected return to your home will be before dinner.
