Day by day

Your day, considered.

  1. Day 1

    Visit the elephant nursery

    Travel to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust’s Nairobi nursery for a visit focused on the care of orphaned elephants. The experience offers a closer understanding of the keepers’ work and the animals’ rehabilitation, following the nursery’s visitor arrangements. Admission availability and any associated park-entry requirements must be confirmed before travel. We will coordinate the visit with your pickup and return plans; animal contact or a particular feeding encounter is not promised.

Where you stay

A day out, without an overnight stay.

Tell us your pickup location and preferred return arrangements when you enquire.

What is included

Your quotation will itemise transport, guiding, entry fees, accommodation and meals where applicable. Please confirm the included services with our team before booking.

What to allow for

Ask for an itemised list of exclusions and optional activities with your quotation so you can plan your total travel budget.

When to travel

Seasonal considerations.

This runs throughout the year. Mornings are generally the better half of the day for wildlife and for the light, and the heaviest rain falls around April and May and again in November, which can affect road conditions rather than the experience itself.
