If you have all day available, you won't regret this tour. Kevin picked me up at 6 am, and we started the day with a visit to the Nairobi National Park. I saw baboons, buffaloes, lions, jackals, giraffes, hippos, ostriches, wild hogs, and, most importantly, rhinos. I learned from him that on safaris, patience is key, and since it was just me on the tour, we spent a lot of time looking at the rhinos :)
The rest of the tour included visiting the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, the Giraffe Center, and the Karen Blixen Museum. All of them are worth going to. The first two allow you to be super close and touch these amazing species. Try to get to the Orphanage on time so that you get to see the baby rhino. The Museum was an excellent opportunity to see the Out of Africa movie set and learn more about her interesting story.
Kevin suggested the Karen Blixen Coffee Garden Restaurant for a late lunch, and I cannot recommend this place more! It is beautiful, and the food was delicious!
Before returning to the hotel, we went to the Kobe Though factory, which supports single mothers and widows producing ceramic beads. I ended up buying several necklaces.
Overall this was a fun, relaxing, and inspirational day. Thank you, Kevin, for sharing your wildlife knowledge and being such good company!
