Beschrijving

Duik in de culturele en natuurlijke schatten van Nairobi met onze speciaal samengestelde dagtour, die het Karen Blixen Museum, Kazuri Beads Factory en het Giraffe Centre omvat. Deze reis biedt een mix van geschiedenis, lokale ambachtelijke ambachten en interactie met dieren in het wild, wat zorgt voor een onvergetelijk dagje uit in de bruisende hoofdstad van Kenia. Beginnend met het voormalige huis van de veelgeprezen Deense auteur Karen Blixen, duiken we in de pagina's van haar beroemde boek Out of Africa, gevolgd door een bezoek aan de Kazuri Beads Factory, waar je uit de eerste hand het prachtige handwerk van lokale vrouwen ervaart. De dag wordt afgesloten met een bezoek aan het Giraffe Centre, een unieke gelegenheid om oog in oog te staan met de bedreigde Rothschild-giraffen. Laten we beginnen aan dit spannende avontuur! Waardeer het vakmanschap van Afrikaanse vrouwen in de kralenvrouwenfabriek.

Reisroute

Toegang inbegrepen120 min

Lees meer over de conversatie-inspanningen om een bedreigde giraffesoort, bekend als de Rothschild Giraffe, te behouden. Het Giraffe Centre is opgericht door het African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (A.F.E.W. Kenya), een Keniaanse non-profitorganisatie. Hun belangrijkste doel is om Keniaanse schoolkinderen en jongeren kennis te laten maken met de natuur en het milieu van hun land, en om lokale en internationale bezoekers een kans te geven met 's werelds grootste soort, de giraffe.

60 min

Je wordt dan naar de Kobe Tough Beads and Leather gereden. Dit is een aardewerkbedrijf dat een van de mooiste kralen ter wereld maakt. Je krijgt alle etappes van start tot finish te zien. Het is ook een unieke fabriek omdat er alleenstaande moederouders uit de arme buurt werken die de kost verdienen om hun gezin te onderhouden. Het is een vrouwenemancipatiecentrum voor de gemeenschap. Het centrum is opgericht door vrouwen die voorheen voor de Kazuri-kralenfabriek werkten toen deze tijdens de pandemie werd gesloten. Dit was uitstel voor hen omdat ze voor hun gezin konden blijven zorgen.

Toegang niet inbegrepen120 min

Volg in de voetsporen van Karen Blixen terwijl je naar de Ngong Hills reist, je voelt je meteen meegesleurd op de filmset van Out of Africa zodra je aankomt. De oude koloniale boerderij is eenvoudig en herbergt een paar items die Karen Blixen heeft uitgekozen en ooit zelf heeft genoten. Er zijn ook de kleurrijke tuinen om te verkennen, waar verschillende oude koffiemachines tientallen jaren onaangeroerd hebben gestaan. We nemen je ook mee naar de koffietuin van Karen Blixen om op je gemak te genieten van je lunch of koffie.

A fun day start to finish!

What a fun day! It was fascinating to watch the women making beads at Kobe Tough bead center. It was so interesting touring the Karen Blixen home and museum. We stopped for lunch and a great local restaurant and the ended the day meeting giraffe face to face at the Giraffe Center. It was a great way to spend the day and I highly recommend this tour.

Had a great time, being treated like a VIP - and could not get enough of the giraffes!

I thoroughly enjoyed the personal attention and the knowledgeable, joyful and extremely professional support provided by Faith during this visit. I had the best of time. Faith made it an unforgettable experience for me, providing a lot of extra information about life in Kenya and Nairobi in between the various sites. She adjusted the schedule to my preferences -- such as staying way longer than initially planned at the Giraffe Center, as I had such a great time getting to know the various giraffes, all of which Faith seemed to know quite well already. For a personalized experience (I felt like a VIP), I would highly recommend booking this tour and requesting Faith. Hope to come back with my family next time.

Lovely morning

Enjoyed the giraffe center the most but also enjoyed the bead factory more than expected. Thought I booked a tour with others but apparently I booked a private tour by mistake.

Fascinating history close to many amazing spots.

Was a beautiful experience, so much amazing history. Definitely watch Out of Africa, it will help with understanding the time period and Karen’s story. Our driver Kelvin was amazing. He showed us several locations that we fell in love with; elephant orphanage, giraffe center, Kobe beads and delicious local food.

Great tour spendind the day in Nairobi

Booked the tour in advance of our vacation. Fast and easy communication with Kelvin. It was our last day in Nairobi and Kenya and Douglas our driver and tour guide made it to a special day, especially for my 70 years old Mom. We loved to feed the giraffes and had the chance to touch the Baby Elephants, have major respects to the women who are doing a great job and enjoyed seeing the original place/set from "Out of Africa" as we love the movie. It was a great final of our 3 weeks vacation tour through parts of Kenya. Thanks a lot!

My experience was the priority of the day!

Kelvin was an amazing guide. I’m very curious and probably asked him 1,000 questions about Nairobi and Kenya. He was patient and knowledgeable. I felt that my experience was the priority. I’ll do other tours with Kelvin.

Awesome Nairobi experience with a terrific tour guide.

Meshack was an excellent tour guide. The vehicle was clean and he graciously and he graciously answered all my questions including giving me a history of the Maasai’s and the country of Kenya. He also patiently waited for me while I shopped for beads made by marginalized Kenyan women. I had a fabulous time visiting all three places. Feeding the giraffes was an awesome experience. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you Meshack!! Such a sweet soul 😃.

A very memorable experience

This was the best decision to book with Kelvin. I was traveling with my wife and two teens so safety was a priority. Not only did he put us at ease when speaking to him over the phone he more than exceeded our expectations by the end of the day. Wednesday happened to be my birthday so we wanted to do something special. We booked the giraffe center,blixen museum, beads factory combo tour & Kelvin offered the elephant orphanage for us, as part of this fanstastic tour. The tour was exclusively private for me & my family. Before and during the tour kelvin shared great knowledge from city sights, history & with utmost passion & precision about the girrafe & elephant conservation in kenya.The elephant sancuary was such an amazing event where you are able to see, sometimes touch (if they decide to walk over in your direction in between twig snacks) all the orphaned elephants. Got to learn from one of the keepers, history of the sanctuary & about each of the elephants.The bead factory tour was very inspiring and informative on the women that work daily on making the beautiful handmade jewlery. After the bead factory tour we were so excited that we didn't want the day to end so we asked Kelvin to keep the party rolling. He didn't hesitate one bit so he took us to a local lunch spot to recharge and get ready for round 2. We added the 3 hr Nairobi National Park tour and it didn't disappoint! We saw some much of what Kenya has to offer from lions, rhinos, gazelles, hippos, ostrich and so much more all from the comfort of the tour van we had learned to call our mobile home for the day. We ended the day with dinner at the famous Carnivore restaurant. He not only offered to take us there but said he would stay until we were done and then take us back to our airbnb at no extra cost! Kelvin gave the best VIP experience we could have ever imagined. So if you are considering RUSTIC NATURE TOURS, DO NOT HESITATE! You can thank me later.
