Nairobi Day Tours

Day Tour

Nairobi National Park

The Nairobi Day Tour includes a pick up from a Nairobi hotel for an early morning game drive at Nairobi National Park. The only national park close to a major city in the whole world. The chance to see large predators including black rhino, lion, leopard & cheetah, as well as buffaloes, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest & eland, the vory burning site monument too.

After an average of 3 hours game drive, its time to make our way to The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Here we get to see the orphan baby elephants taking their 1100am-1200pm SMA baby formula milk. A 1hour talk is given about the ophan elephants and black rhinos. If lucky the baby elephants will entertain you by “playing football” while others do the mud bath.

Giraffe Centre – visit the Giraffe Centre located in Langata, where the endangered Rothschild giraffes are being raised. You will have the opportunity to hand feed these gentle creatures with “giraffe candies”, as well as get fantastic close-up shots (shots in Giraffe hugs, sandwich, and giraffe kisses are tempting). Feeding the giraffes is facilitated by a well built, raised platform from where visitors can feed these tall animals with ease.

The Carnivore Restaurant

Strikingly different from anything ever seen in Nairobi, the Carnivore does not follow the normal restaurant traditions of ordering food from a menu. Guests simply take a seat at the table and the feast begins.  Whole joints of meat….legs of lamb and pork, ostrich, rumps of beef, sirloins, racks of lamb, spare ribs, sausages, chicken wings, skewered kidneys and even crocodile, that have been roasted over a huge, charcoal pit until cooked to perfection, are brought to your table by friendly waiters. This “beast of a feast” is preceded by the soup of the day with home baked brown bread and butter. Accompanying side dishes include a wide selection of salads and vegetable, as well as exotic sauces made from the Carnivore’s own recipes.

The feast goes on until guests concede defeat by lowering the white paper flag on the table, and then dessert and coffee are served.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is one of a medieval banqueting hall in a rural setting, and the name Carnivore is synonymous with the “dawa” – their signature vodka cocktail, brought to you by Mr. Dawa himself (Dawa in Kiswahili means medicine or magic potion).  The dawa is now one of the most widely consumed cocktails in Kenya.

Adjoining the main restaurant is the informal restaurant, the Simba Saloon, where you can order a la carte meals, and which turns into a nightclub when the sun sets.
