Activity itinerary

Our driver guide will come to pick you from your Nairobi Hotel around 9:30AM and be driven to David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to walk through the centre from 11am - 12pm in an open space, with a rope fence around it. The youngest elephants come trotting out of the bush to greet their keepers who stand at the ready with giant bottles of milk. For the next 10-15 minutes you can watch each little one slurp and gargle their milk. Then, you'll have time to watch the elephants play. You find out how old they were when they arrived at the orphanage, where they were rescued from, and what got them into trouble. The most common reasons for getting orphaned being: mother's poached, falling into wells, and human/wildlife conflict. Once the youngest are all fed, they are led back into the bush, and it's the turn of the 2-3 year olds. Some of them can feed themselves, and some are still fed by their keepers. Watch them interact with their keepers, munch on some branches of their favourite acacias trees. Then be taken to Kobe Tough Beads Factory . The tours cover bead making by hand. Guests experience the making of ceramic beads jewellery using clay from clay preparation to final product
