Description
Your half-day tour begins with Nairobi city airport or hotel pick-up. First, you will drive to the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage where you will meet elephant calves. Daphne Sheldrick, as part of the David Sheldrick Conservation Foundation, rehabilitates baby elephants and other wildlife here at her home just outside of Nairobi National Park. These babies have lost their mothers to poaching, death, injuries, on getting lost in the wild or other tragedies.
During your visit, you will understand the humanitarian efforts, dedication and heart put into this endeavor. Next, visit Giraffe Manor where Daisy, a baby giraffe rescued by Jock and Betty Leslie-Melville from a heavily-poached area of western Kenya and you will have the opportunity to not only meet giraffes but feed them from your own hands.
