Day 2 Nairobi | Meals: B
Your day begins at Karen Blixen's former home, now a museum. The words of her wonderful book, "Out of Africa" come to life as you walk through the home, almost hearing Karen and Denys Finch Hatton laughing over dinner. From here, visit the Kazuri Bead Factory, where single mothers and widows have found employment by creating colorful beads artiscally brought together in necklaces, earings and much more. Fun awaits when you visit the Giraffe Center and have the opportunity to feed these graceful animals from an elevated platform. Make sure your camera has a lot of space to capture the moment you and the giraffes connect! Return to the hotel for lunch on your own. Later this afternoon, you'll take the short drive to the Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage for an extraordinary visit with the tiny orphans being hand-raised by the dedicated keepers. We have sponsored an elephant on your behalf and as a sponsor you are one of the few people permitted to visit at 5 pm when the small charges are put to bed. There will be more than a few tugs at your heart strings as you watch these tiny elephants interact with their keepers. You will be amazed at the similarities between their behavior and human behavior.
