Rejseplan
David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT), også kendt som Elephant Orphanage, er beliggende i Nairobi, Kenya. Det er et af de mest kendte elefantreservater i verden, dedikeret til redning og rehabilitering af forældreløse elefanter, ofte ofre for krybskytteri. Når elefanterne er næret og rehabiliteret, bliver de til sidst genintegreret i naturen. Nøglehøjdepunkter: Beliggenhed: Beliggende i Nairobi National Park. Besøgendes oplevelse: Besøgende kan se babyelefanter blive fodret og lege i mudderbade. Børnehjemmet tilbyder et dagligt offentligt besøg sidst på formiddagen, typisk omkring kl. Adoptionsprogram: Besøgende kan "adoptere" en elefant, som hjælper med at støtte deres pleje og rehabilitering. Uddannelsesfokus: Børnehjemmet uddanner også offentligheden om bevarelse af vilde dyr, især med fokus på elefantbeskyttelse.
Giraffecentret, som ligger i Lang'ata, Nairobi, er et bevarings- og uddannelsescenter, der er etableret for at beskytte den truede Rothschild-giraf. Centret blev grundlagt i 1979 af African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (AFEW) og har siden spillet en afgørende rolle i at opdrætte og beskytte disse giraffer. Nøglehøjdepunkter: Beliggenhed: Nær Nairobi, ikke langt fra David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Interaktiv oplevelse: Besøgende kan komme tæt på girafferne, fodre dem fra hævede platforme og endda interagere med dem direkte. Uddannelsesprogrammer: Centret kører programmer, der sigter mod at uddanne børn og den brede offentlighed om bevarelse af vilde dyr, især med fokus på giraffer. Rothschild-giraffer: Centret fokuserer på at avle Rothschild-giraffer, en underart, der er truet på grund af tab af levesteder. Naturstier: Der er også vandreture i naturen rundt i centrum, hvor besøgende kan udforske den lokale flora og fauna.

We had a great time feeding the giraffes and learning about the orphaned elephants. Our driver, Lucas, did a great job of communicating with us upon booking and then leading up to the trip. Lucas was also fabulous the day of the event, giving us a driving tour of Nairobi, and even went out of his way to show us some areas of the city that we were interested in seeing that were not specifically included in the tour. He was willing and able to answer all of our questions and was a really fabulous guide!
This tour was great and informative. It was great to have the chance to see wildlife from close range. The giraffe centre gives a chance to feed and take pictures but be careful not to get too close. Elephant orphanage is a beauty. I totally recommend to anyone visiting nairobi
Thank you for the kind review and words Janet. It was great to meet you and to share stories and insights about wildlife and Nairobi's rich culture. Happy to host you again in the future.
This was an amazing experience and the guides are great and detailed. Pick up was at 8 a.m as agreed and Lucas was very reliable in communication. The giraffe centre was mind blowing. It was great to feed the giants. Elephant orphanage offered a unique experience. It important to be early to get the front row and a chance to touch the baby elephants like we did. Thank you Lucas.
Thank you for the kind review and words Simon. We are happy to have been part of your amazing experience in kenya. Happy to host you again in the future.
Guides showed up over an hour late in a beat up old car. They were both sick and now so am I. We missed half the elephant orphanage experience because they didn’t understand what tickets to buy. No bottled water as advertised. Not a good experience.
This review is totally uncalled for and misleading. If anything, we believe we gave you a 5 star experience as that is what we pride in. All our guides are healthy and have health insurance. All the best for the future
The guides showed up over an hour late in an old tiny beat up car. They were both extremely sick and of course a few days later I have caught it and it’s ruining the rest of my vacation. The guides clearly have never been to the giraffe center or elephant orphanage. They were confused about timing and tickets. We ended up missing half of the elephant orphanage experience because they didn’t understand what tickets to purchase. Not a good experience at all. They specialize in touring Kibera only.
Hi Emily, we understand that you might have fallen sick during your safari and we are sorry for it, but it's important to give the correct feedback. This review is misleading and you should be ashamed for it. We believe we gave you the best of experience and for that we are proud. All our guides are healthy and we don't ride in beat up vehicles. Kindly tell the truth next time. All the best for the future.
What a great day, visiting the centers that care for giraffes and elephants. We were able to feed the giraffes and join in the lovefest for the elephants.
Thank you for the kind review Donna. It's great you learnt alot from us and the two sanctuaries. Happy to host you again in the future.
The trip was amazing, so wonderful to see the sanctuary’s work. Lucas was our guide and he was knowledgeable, helpful and super friendly!
Thank you for the kind review and words Victoria. It was really great to share insights and stories about elephants and giraffes. Happy to host you again in the future
