All of Nairobi is ours to explore! We begin with a visit to Kenya’s foremost animal orphanage, The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. For more than four decades, the late Dame Daphne Sheldrick was a world-recognized authority on raising infant elephants and rhinoceros orphans for reintegration into the wild. Today, you can watch the babies feed and play while learning about conservation directly from the dedicated staff.
A visit to the home of Karen Blixen—the Danish author of Out of Africa—is a must. She nearly single-handedly inspired a generation of safari travelers. The house remains an architectural gem, featuring many of her original belongings. This visit is sure to put you in the perfect frame of mind for launching your own excursion into the bush.
Finally, we visit the Giraffe Centre, set within 120 acres of indigenous forest. The center breeds and releases endangered Rothschild giraffes into the wild. Children and adults alike will thrill at the opportunity to feed these gentle giants by hand, meeting them eye-to-eye from an elevated viewing platform.
Have you ever leaned out of a second-floor window to pet a giraffe on the head? Probably not. At Giraffe Manor, these gentle giants feel right at home as they freely roam the property. They often poke their heads through open windows, bend their necks to greet you on the terrace, and even join you for breakfast, happily accepting snacks from your hand. Spending time with these extraordinary creatures at Giraffe Manor offers a truly unique and unforgettable experience for guests of all ages.
Giraffe Manor lives up to its name: a charming, Victorian-style mansion with a resident herd of endangered Rothschild giraffes strolling around the grounds, which feature manicured lawns and 140 acres of indigenous forest. It’s quite a sight to see these towering residents peek into the dining room windows at breakfast. Luckily, they prefer acacia leaves over pancakes!
Beautifully adorned in high colonial plantation style, Hemingways Nairobi is a boutique hotel situated in the lush and serene suburb of Karen. Every room offers evocative views of the beloved Ngong Hills from its balcony.
Hemingways merits the highest praise, whether it’s rated five stars or more. The hotel boasts top-tier amenities, including one of Nairobi’s premier restaurants, spacious and artistically decorated rooms, a luxurious spa, and exceptional, friendly, and 24-hour service. Our experience and that of our guests confirm Hemingways’ promise: “Your dedicated butler will know you prefer Earl Grey over Assam with your scones and Cornish clotted cream, and he’ll remember which trousers you like pressed flat and which need a central crease.”
One of the best parts of traveling with us is having a private dayroom on your last day. The Four Points by Sheraton Nairobi Airport is located right next to the runway, but it is fully soundproofed for peace.
It is the perfect place to rest and refresh before your evening flight home from Jomo Kenyatta Airport. You can take a shower, nap, and organize your bags in your own private space. When it is time to leave, your Safari Director will be there to help you and your luggage all the way into the airport, making your departure completely stress-free.
