The Shedrick Orphanage

The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is set to rescue and rehabilitate orphaned elephants and rhinos. Founded by Dr. Dame Daphne Sheldrick in honor of her late husband, David Sheldrick, the orphanage has been a beacon of hope for Kenya’s endangered wildlife. Visitors to the Nairobi orphanage witness the incredible work being done to nurture and protect these vulnerable baby elephants, many of whom have lost their families due to poaching or other tragic circumstances. The orphanage allows for up-close encounters with these gentle giants during feeding and playtime, providing an educational experience for visitors. The Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage plays a crucial role in elephant and rhino conservation, and a visit here not only offers a unique opportunity to connect with these majestic creatures but also supports the organization’s vital efforts in safeguarding Kenya’s wildlife heritage.

Giraffe Manor/ Centre

Giraffe Manor is a luxurious and iconic boutique hotel in the Karen suburb of Nairobi, Kenya. What sets Giraffe Manor apart from other accommodations is its unique feature: resident endangered Rothschild’s giraffes that freely roam the lush grounds and often interact with guests. This historic manor, built in the 1930s, offers an intimate and exclusive experience with wildlife. Guests can enjoy the extraordinary opportunity to feed and interact with the friendly giraffes, who may poke their long necks into the dining room windows during breakfast. The manor also hosts an important conservation program to protect the Rothschild’s giraffes, which are a critically endangered species.

Karen Blixen Museum

The Karen Blixen Museum, located in Karen, is a historic site offering an insight into the life of a renowned Danish author, Karen Blixen. This beautifully preserved museum was once the home of Karen Blixen, who is best known for her memoir “Out of Africa,” which has been adapted into a celebrated film. The museum is set in a charming colonial-era farmhouse, and it provides an insight into Blixen’s life in Kenya during the early 20th century. Visitors can explore her personal artifacts, books, and various rooms that have been maintained to reflect the period. The lush gardens surrounding the museum are also a key attraction, with scenic views of the Ngong Hills.
