While you get to watch them play and take photos. You find out how old they were when they arrived at the orphanage, where they were rescued from, and what got them into trouble. The most common reasons for getting orphaned being: mother's poached, falling into wells, and human/wildlife conflict.

It is worth doing the tour if you have some time in Nairobi and want to get a first impression of a safari. Except for the leopard, we saw all other four of the Big Five in Nairobi National Park, including lions after the hunt and 2 x mother rhino with child. In my opinion, the breeding station for young orphaned elephants is a must. Being eaten out of your hand by giraffes in the giraffe park is a special kind of experience. The guides were nice and catered to our special requests. One of us advanced the money for an entry, where we had to pay with dollar cash, until we later had an ATM to return the money in.

The Game Drive really was a great experience! Our guide knew where to find the best animal spots and we saw lions, giraffes, rhinos (even babies), hippos, crocodiles, antilopes, zebras, etc. The prices were higher than advertised (I paid $100 instead of the always advertised $55) and just remember that there will be a park fee to be paid as well (around $43).

Very enjoyable safari and visit to the elephant orphanage and giraffe center. Julian was a friendly and kind guide, and since I was the only passenger we made a few extra stops to buy souvenirs, to explore the kazuri bead factory and to get some fresh samosas! Highly recommend.

All the four activities are unique and well organised!!! We were so lucky to see lion to hunt and eat its pray! We saw babe elephants! We came close to giraffes and fed them. We feel grateful for all of them. It was an amazing experience!!!!

Tony Cruize was AMAZING! He made it a fun and very pleasant day-trip. I would highly recommend going with him.
