Benefit from pickup at your hotel or the airport in the early morning, and then take a game drive through Nairobi National Park. Look for leopards, cheetahs and other wildlife in the grass plains and acacia bush. Take stunning photos of some of Africa's most iconic animals, including giraffes with the city skyscrapers in the background. Continue to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to see orphaned elephants and rescued rhinos ready for release into the wild. Watch endangered Rothschild's giraffes grazing in a semi-wild enclosure at the Giraffe Centre and get the chance to feed them. Marvel as they lap up the treats with their long, black tongues.

Good choice

Good morning. Of the many possible tours offered online, Nairobi Highlights Wildlife Safari had the best reviews, to which I add this. They were punctual, correct and helpful. We have seen animals, so good review for them too! If possible, I recommend adding the ride to the Elephant Orphanage and Giraffe Center.
