The experience
The first stop is Nairobi National Park, where your expert guide leads you through landscapes that open up wide around the minivan. The air conditioning keeps you cool while you watch for some of the nation's most iconic animals in the wild, and the binoculars help you bring them closer.
Then comes the Giraffe Center, where you climb onto a raised observation platform and feed the giraffes, the main draw for visitors here. Warthogs roam the grounds alongside them. The place began in 1979, when two baby giraffes were captured to start a breeding programme, and it has since helped introduce breeding pairs of Rothschild giraffes into Kenyan national parks. The Rothschild giraffe is endangered, and you learn how conservation efforts are working to protect this graceful animal.
The day closes at the Karen Blixen Museum, a beautiful farmhouse where Karen Blixen, author of Out of Africa, lived from 1914 to 1931. You learn about her years here before she left Kenya after a series of personal tragedies, which gives the stop its weight after all the wildlife.
