Nairobi Giraffe Centre & Elephant Orphanage Tour: Feed & MeetThis eight-hour tour in Nairobi takes you to the Giraffe Centre to feed Rothschild giraffes with special pellets and learn their distribution across Kenya, then to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to watch orphaned baby elephants receive their formula and hear each elephant's story.

Conservation park fees are paid online before arrival.Is it for me?Choose the half-day option if you have a free afternoon and want to see the giraffes and elephants without committing a full day, or add Nairobi National Park if you want to see the Big Five and over 300 bird species in the same outing—the park sits just seven kilometers from the city, so both fit into a single morning or afternoon depending on which option you pick.
