& Nairobi Animal Orphanage (Nairobi Safari Walk)
Departs daily at 1400 hours
Tour Overview
Nairobi, as a capital city, is unique in having a wildlife
park on its doorstep. Indeed the city abuts the Nairobi
National Park on all but the southern perimeter so it is
possible to photograph a rhino, browsing peace fully among
the whistling thorn with high-rise office buildings in the
backdrop. Some of the wildlife is migratory and when vegetation
and water are present outside the park, they move out into
Maasailand through the unfenced southern boundary. There
is also a resident population of plains game and predators
so a visit at any time of the year is a rewarding experience.
Well laid out, with exceptionally well-maintained roads,
the park is a model for all others, geophysically and administratively.
Of the most popular species only the elephant is an absentee.
But the rest of the Big Five: leopard, lion, buffalo and
rhino - as well as a multitude of other creatures are all
well represented.

in 1977, the Trust has played an extremely significant and important
role in Kenya's conservation effort. Six Trustees assisted by an Advisory
Committee of practical Naturalists with a lifetime experience of African
conditions oversee and direct the operations of the Trust. The orphan
elephants and rhinos are just some of the many wildlife commitments
we are involved in. The Trust does not solicit funds and relies entirely
on donations from its caring and compassionate friends.
