Below are three top highlights you can look forward to:

1. David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and Giraffe Centre

Start your day with two of Nairobi’s most heartwarming wildlife experiences. At the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, you’ll watch orphaned baby elephants being fed and cared for by expert handlers, while learning about the rescue and rehabilitation efforts behind their survival. This sanctuary is more than a tourist stop—it’s a symbol of Kenya’s commitment to wildlife conservation.

Next, we take you to the Giraffe Centre, where endangered Rothschild giraffes roam freely in a lush setting. You’ll get the rare opportunity to hand-feed these gentle giants and take close-up photos with them. The center also offers insights into giraffe conservation and how local communities are playing a role in protecting these majestic creatures. Both locations are family-friendly and ideal for travelers of all ages.

2. Nairobi National Park Game Drive

Imagine a safari where lions, rhinos, and zebras roam with Nairobi’s skyline in the background. That’s exactly what you get in Nairobi National Park. Located just minutes from the central business district, this unique wildlife haven offers a full game drive experience without leaving the city.

Our Nairobi Day Trips and City Tour Packages include early-morning entry into the park, when animals are most active. You’ll traverse savannah grasslands in a private vehicle, guided by experienced naturalists who know where to find elusive species. From grazing giraffes to hunting predators, every moment brings a new photo opportunity. It’s a safari like no other—wild Africa, right on the edge of a capital city.

Best Time to Take Nairobi Day Trips and City Tour Packages

Nairobi’s favorable climate allows for enjoyable city tours throughout the year. However, certain periods and time slots offer enhanced experiences—especially for those interested in wildlife. Below are key points to consider when planning your Nairobi day trip:

1. Dry Seasons Offer the Best Wildlife Viewing

The months of June to October and January to February are ideal for spotting animals in Nairobi National Park. With less vegetation and more predictable water sources, wildlife is easier to find and observe during these times.

2. Early Mornings Deliver Optimal Sightings

Wildlife is most active in the early hours of the day, especially before the heat builds up. Starting your tour around 6:00 to 7:00 AM gives you the best chance to see lions, rhinos, giraffes, and more during game drives.

3. Afternoon Tours Work Well for Culture and City Stops

If your focus is on museums, cultural centers, markets, or city landmarks, afternoon tours offer excellent lighting, a relaxed pace, and less morning congestion—making them a great option for cultural exploration.
