Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, is the cosmopolitan city in East Africa and is located along the Nairobi River. It makes a great starting place for safari tours in Africa in and around Kenya. Nairobi, the fourth-largest city in Africa, is a lively and exciting place. Although it has a reputation that discourages tourists from staying long, there are some fascinating attractions here, including its cafe culture, wild nightlife, National Museum, Karen Blixen Museum, and, most significantly, the only urban game reserve in the world, where wild lions and buffalo roam. Don’t forget to stop by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust’s elephant orphanage.
Following lunch, our driver will arrive to pick you up for a trip to the giraffe centre where you’ll get the opportunity to interact with the giraffes and take pictures with them.

Lake Nakuru National Park is a gem teeming with abundant flora and fauna. The lake supports much of the wildlife in this national park and is fondly called the “pink lake,” due to the abundance of flamingos here. While flamingos are the most famous residents of Lake Nakuru, it is one of Kenya’s premier rhino sanctuaries, providing vital protection for both black and white rhinoceros populations.
