NAIROBI

Nairobi is Kenya's capital and biggest city. Like any large city it is complete with sky scrapers and top hotels. There are many different excursions you can take in Nairobi including a safari in the National Park to visiting Karen Blixen's house, made famous by the film Out of Africa.

Here are just a few of the things that Kenya Explorer Safaris could arrange for you to visit whilst staying in Nairobi.

NAIROBI CITY TOUR – 3 HOURS

We take you for a familiarisation tour of the city of Nairobi. Visiting parliament buildings where we find the burial grounds of the First President of Kenya, the late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, the International Conference grounds, the railways museum or the National museum and Snake Park.

NAIROBI NATIONAL PARK – 4 HOURS

The 24- square-kilometer-park is conveniently close to (within?) the city of Nairobi, yet it remains a completely natural environment for wild animals. At the main entrance of the Park is the Animal Orphanage Safari Walk,founded in 1963 to care for young wild animals found deserted and unable to fend for themselves and to treat injured wild animals. These animals are later released to the park.

A must visit for visitors on a short stay in Nairobi.

NGONG HILLS EXCURSION–4 HOURS

Ngong hills, a favourite destination of Nairobi residents on weekend afternoons, are just 30 Km. From the city. The hills stick out like the knuckles of a closed fist and the highest of the Ngong is at 8,074 ft. The view from the top is incomparable. You then descend to the Maasai Village. Introduction to the Maasai culture and inspect the manyatta (village). Depart late afternoon for the City.

THE DAVID SHELDRICK TRUST/ MAMBA VILLAGE – 3HOURS

It opens for one hour – from 11am to 12noon. You will have the opportunity to touch and feed the elephants calves. We then proceed to the Mamba (crocodile) village, home of crocodiles and ostriches. Fishing and boat rides can be organized here at an extra cost.
