Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) is a leader in African wildlife conservation. Through its Orphans' Project, SWT has raised over 320 orphaned elephants and rhinos. When grown, each orphan is reintegrated into a protected wilderness. The SWT Nursery, located in Nairobi National Park, is the first stage, where new rescues are nurtured by an experienced team of Keepers. Pre-booked visitors are invited to join the Nursery orphans for their midday milk feed and mud bath. The public visit takes place daily from 11am to 12 noon. From a variety of viewing platforms, watch the orphans enjoy their bottles and gather for playtime. A senior Keeper leads the visit. Access to this visit is by advance reservation only. Third-party bookings are not valid; all bookings must be made through the SWT Nairobi Office. A separate park entry fee, payable to the Kenya Wildlife Service, also applies. SWT is a donor-funded organisation. By visiting the Nursery, guests directly support its conservation work.

Noble black rhinos are the highlight of this amazing park, Kenya’s first national park and a local treasure.

The Karura Forest Reserve is an urban upland forest on the outskirts of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. This remarkable geographical location and natural resource is one of the largest gazetted forests in the world fully within a city limits. It covers an area of about 1,000 ha (2,500 ac) and today is a shining example of how country-based corporate social responsibility and individual philanthropy can serve to secure and protect a country's natural resources. The forest offers eco-friendly opportunities for Kenyans and visitors to enjoy a leafy green respite from the hustle and bustle of the city to walk, to jog, or simply to sit quietly and experience the serenity of nature in all its diversity.

Take in the fantastic views of the Great Rift Valley and Nairobi at a distance from the top of these lush green hills. A short drive from the city, the hills are home to a wide variety of wildlife.

You can camp out on the hills, but be sure to pack appropriately to shield yourself from the area’s strong winds. Hire a private guide to make the most of your adventure. Note that the rainy months are usually April, May, and November. – Tripadvisor
