What to expect

  1. Giraffe Centre
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    A visit to the Giraffe center is a unique wildlife experience where you get chance to interact directly with the endangered Rothschild's giraffes from a raised wooden observation platform that puts you at eye level with the animals
  2. Karen Blixen Coffee Garden
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    In the tranquil Nairobi suburb of Karen, the Karen Blixen Museum offers a nostalgic step back into the world of the Out of Africa author, where you will take a guided tour of her beautifully preserved 1912 farmhouse to see original furnishings, her typewriter, and even props from the Oscar-winning film. Outside, you can wander through expansive, manicured gardens that boast a stunning panoramic view of the Ngong Hills, explore a collection of vintage 1920s power tools and coffee-processing machinery, and walk the nature trail to spot local birdlife and tree hyraxes. You pair the museum with a stop at the nearby Karen Blixen Coffee Garden for a traditional Kenyan coffee
  3. Masai Market
    1h
    The language barrier and the prevalence of low-quality goods, souvenir shopping in Kenya can be a minefield. Navigate it with ease on this door-to-door private Shopping Activity, with your driver/guide on hand to translate, carry heavy items, and advise if required. A typical Shopping Activity includes stops at four high-caliber stores: Kazuri Beads Factory, Utamaduni Crafts Centre, the Maasai Market, and Galleria Shopping Mall.
