NAIROBI NATIONAL PARK
The Park was established in 1946, the national park was Kenya’s first. It is located approximately 7 kilometers south of the Centre of Nairobi, Kenya’s capital city with an electric fence separating the park’s wildlife from the metropolis. Nairobi’s skyscrapers can be seen from the park. Wide open grass plains and backdrop of the city scrapers, scattered acacia bush play host to a wide variety of wildlife including the endangered black rhino, lions, cheetahs, hyenas, buffaloes, giraffes and diverse birdlife with over 400 species recorded.
DAVID SHELDRICK WILDLIFE TRUST
The trust operates the world’s most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program and is one of the pioneering conservation organizations for wildlife and habitat protection in East Africa. It is open from 11am to 12noon and during this time the orphans arrive for their midday mud bath and feeding.
The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust was founded in 1977 by Dr. Dame Daphne Sheldrick DBE, in honour of the memory of her late husband, famous naturalist and founding Warden of Tsavo East National Park, David Leslie William Sheldrick MBE.
GIRAFFE CENTRE
The Giraffe Centre was established in order to protect the endangered Rothschild giraffe, that is found only in the grasslands of East Africa.
The Giraffe Centre was started by Jock Leslie-Melville, the Kenyan grandson of a Scottish Earl.
The main attraction for visitors is feeding giraffes from a raised observation platform. The Centre is also home to several warthogs which freely roam the area along with the giraffes.
