Itinerario
Scopri il fascino dell'iconico Giraffe Centre di Nairobi, un'attrazione imperdibile dedicata alla conservazione della giraffa di Rothschild in via di estinzione. Situato a soli 20 km dal centro della città, questo santuario offre un incontro unico e ravvicinato con questi graziosi giganti. I visitatori possono nutrire le giraffe a mano da una piattaforma sopraelevata, conoscere la loro storia di conservazione e persino scattare foto indimenticabili mentre le giraffe prendono delicatamente i pellet dalla tua mano. Il centro dispone anche di un sentiero naturalistico che conduce al vicino Gogo River Bird Sanctuary, dove potrete godervi una tranquilla passeggiata circondati dalla flora e dalla fauna locali. Gestito dal Fondo africano per la fauna selvatica minacciata di estinzione (AFEW), ogni visita sostiene programmi vitali di conservazione e istruzione in tutto il Kenya. Perfetto per famiglie, amanti degli animali e fotografi, il Giraffe Centre promette un'esperienza divertente, educativa e commovente che ti collega al ricco patrimonio faunistico del Kenya.
Fai un salto indietro nel tempo al Museo Karen Blixen, uno dei monumenti storici più preziosi di Nairobi. Situato ai piedi delle colline Ngong, questo casale splendidamente conservato era una volta la casa dell'autrice Danese Karen Blixen, famosa per il suo libro di memorie Out of Africa. I visitatori possono esplorare l'elegante casa coloniale, completa di mobili originali e manufatti che raccontano la vita di Blixen e il suo periodo in Kenya dal 1917 al 1931. Guide esperte condividono affascinanti intuizioni sulle sue avventure, la sua coltivazione di caffè e la sua influenza sulla storia culturale del Kenya. I giardini sereni e le ampie viste creano un'atmosfera tranquilla, perfetta per foto e riflessioni. A soli 15 km dal centro di Nairobi, il museo offre uno sguardo autentico sul passato coloniale e sul patrimonio letterario del Kenya: una visita imperdibile per gli amanti della storia, gli appassionati di Out of Africa e chiunque cerchi un tocco di nostalgia e romanticismo nel cuore di Karen.
Scopri l'ispirante mondo di Kobe Tough Beads and Leather, un laboratorio e boutique unici a Nairobi che celebra l'artigianato keniota e l'empowerment della comunità. Fondata per fornire occupazione sostenibile alle donne locali, Kobe Tough trasforma materiali riciclati e pelle di alta qualità in splendidi gioielli, accessori e decorazioni per la casa fatti a mano. I visitatori possono osservare abili artigiani al lavoro, creando intricati pezzi di perline e pelle che fondono la tradizionale arte africana con il design moderno. Il vivace showroom offre una splendida selezione di souvenir kenioti autentici – da eleganti collane e bracciali a borse e cinture alla moda – ogni pezzo racconta una storia di creatività, resilienza e speranza. Una visita a Kobe Tough è più di uno shopping; è un'esperienza culturale edificante in cui ogni acquisto sostiene i mezzi di sussistenza locali e preserva il patrimonio artistico del Kenya. Ideale per i viaggiatori che cercano regali significativi e connessioni autentiche con lo spirito creativo di Nairobi.

Very nice tour. I was a Solo traveller and was very well accompanied by Julie the guide and Patrick the driver. We started the tour with the Kobe beads, then we went to the Giraffe center and we ended the tour by Karen Blixen museum. I was picked up on time at 9am and went back to my hotel by 2:30pm as there was traffic on the way back. I definitely recommend this tour 👍
