    This is such a fantastic place to visit. We had a night stay in Nairobi so decided to use that time to visit the orphanage. I'm so glad we did. You do have to book in advance and the visit is only for an hour but absolutely worth it. It's incredibly professional and they help so many animals not just Elephants. They do such great work if your close to an orphanage please go you won't regret it.

    A fun stop, would be especially good with kids. We saw this after going on safari, even so giraffes are such beautiful creatures that it was very interesting to see them up close and personal like this. It's very reachable by Uber from downtown Nairobi, and in the area with the Nairobi National Park, so might want to put them together for a day trip.

    Hard to find park sponsored options online. I came during the rainy season but beautiful backdrop. The website needs better guidance for foreign visitors to show options.

    A very surprising visit and you will learn the life of someone who has done so much for Kenya and after who so many places today are named. Wonderful surroundings to relax too.

    We had a couples retreat to Ngong Hills over the weekend and the hills were amazing.
    The fascinating rolling hills were unique, it was quite refreshing with some lunch at the foothills.
    We recommend Ngong hills to any people or travelers

    Samburu National Reserve is a unique and breathtaking destination that every wildlife lover should experience. Known for its rare wildlife species like the Gravy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, and the Samburu Special Five, it offers an authentic African safari away from the crowds. The scenic landscapes, from rolling hills to the life-giving Ewaso Nyiro River, create a perfect backdrop for game drives and birdwatching.

    Visiting Samburu is not just about wildlife; it’s also an opportunity to experience Samburu culture and the unspoiled beauty of northern Kenya. For photographers, it’s a paradise with stunning sunsets and dramatic scenery. Don’t miss the chance to connect with nature and enjoy one of Kenya’s most peaceful and rewarding parks!
