Nairobi City Tour & Giraffe Center

After breakfast, you will have a tour of Nairobi City. Nairobi is a diverse and exciting urban setting, and you can spend one or two days exploring the many attractions within the city limits. A guided city tour takes you to some of the most distinct attractions with a skilled and experienced guide who not only ensures your safety but also efficiently navigates the high-traffic roads, allowing you to enjoy all that Nairobi has to offer.

Later, you will visit the Giraffe Center, home to the indigenous Rothschild's giraffe. There, you will learn about the center's history, interact with the giraffes, and feed them - an out-of-this-world experience.

Dinner will be served at the Carnivore Restaurant, which does not conform to familiar restaurant traditions. After the starters are served, an army of carvers moves from table to table, carving juicy cuts of meat for guests. You will then retire for the night at the Nairobi Serena Hotel.

The endless plains of Serengeti are also the setting for the world’s greatest wildlife spectacle – the 1.5 million wildebeest endless migration in search of fresh pastures. Each year, they trek over 2,500km and are constantly threatened and followed by some of Africa’s greatest predators.

Spend 2 full days in the Central Serengeti with a flexible schedule of game drives. After breakfast, begin your game drive toward the central part of Serengeti.

As you crest the hillside spread out before you, as far as the eyes can see, is the vast Serengeti. Serengeti means "endless plains" in Kiswahili. This 6,900 sq. mile (18,000 sq. km) park is inhabited by more than 2 million large animals, including more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, and Thomson's gazelles. Large predators, including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas, are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey which migrates throughout the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat-eared fox, mongoose, honey badger, jackal, monkey, baboon and African hare also inhabit the area along with nearly 500 species of birds. Dinner and overnight are at Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge.
