What you can expect

Giraffe Centre
Start your tour with pick up at your Nairobi Hotel 8:00am. Start off to the Giraffe Centre, headquarters for the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife made famous by 'Daisy Rothschild. It is quite an experience being eye to eye with a giraffe - you can get a real sense of the size of these gentle giants.There is also an education centre with lots of information about the breeding and conservation of the rarest of Kenya’s three giraffe species. Learn their behaviours, traits and more conservation education as you get up close and personal on a raised observation platform

2 Kobe Beads Factory
The next stop visit Bead Factory. This is a pottery company that makes one of the world most beautiful beads. You will be shown all the stages from the start to the finish. It’s also a unique factory as it employs single mother parents from the poor area who earn a living to support their families. This pottery, ceramic and bead factory employs all single mothers to make its beautiful gifts and souvenirs - which are now exported all around the world. There is a gift shop which stocks some of their wares. Please note that the workshop is closed Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday, however the gift shop is open 7 days.

3 Karen Blixen Museum
You will then be driven to the old colonial house of Danish author, Karen Blixen. Now a museum, this property and the surrounding Ngong Hills were made famous in the book and then the film ‘Out of Africa’. It is a must see for all Danes and lovers of African history and romance. You will then break for Lunch (own expense)

4 Bomas of Kenya
then start the drive to Bomas of Kenya. The Bomas of Kenya is a cultural centre at Langata, near the main gate to Nairobi National Park. The talented resident artistes perform traditional dances and songs taken from the country's various tribal groups, including Arab-influenced Swahili Taarab music, Kalenjin warrior dances, Embu drumming and Kikuyu circumcision ceremonies. It's touristy, of course, but it's still a spectacular afternoon out.It is a must visit for all visitors. Then dropped back to your Hotel around 5-6PM
