About Half Day Nairobi National Park and Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage Tour

Embark on an enlightening half day Nairobi national park and Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage tour as you explore two of the city’s most cherished natural treasures: Nairobi National Park and the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Start your journey in Nairobi National Park, a pristine wildlife sanctuary uniquely positioned against the backdrop of the bustling city skyline. As the only national park situated within a capital city worldwide, it presents unparalleled opportunities to witness nature’s splendor.

Marvel at sightings of endangered black rhinos, majestic lions, stealthy leopards, swift cheetahs, cunning hyenas, mighty buffalo, towering giraffes, galloping wildebeests and over 520 recorded bird species that paint this serene landscape.

Continue your excursion by visiting The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust—a revered conservation charity founded in honour of esteemed naturalist David Sheldrick who dedicated decades to safeguarding Kenya’s Tsavo East National Park from 1948 until 1976. Between 11 am and noon each day you are invited into this special haven to observe delightful baby elephants in their feeding time while learning about their incredible stories from knowledgeable keepers who share insights into their origins and progressions toward reintegration into wild herds across Africa’s Savannah. Embrace a heartwarming opportunity to contribute personally by adopting one these beloved orphaned elephants—an impactful way for animal enthusiasts like yourself to participate directly in nurturing future generations within our global community devotedly committed towards sustaining Mother Earth’s magnificent biodiversity!
