NAIROBI NATIONAL PARK Nairobi National Park is located 7 Kilometers south of the City Center. If you fall into the temptation of taking a game drive you will be able to see lions, leopards, giraffes, buffaloes, cheetahs and a diverse birdlife. The park also offers campsites, picnic sites and walking trails. If you do not have much time to spare or you would like to do as much as you can, visit the Animal Orphanage which is located at the entrance of the Nairobi National Park. THE DAVID SHELDRICK ELEPHANT ORPHANAGE This orphanage takes elephants and rhino calves from all over Kenyan National parks who have been orphaned by poaching, and later releases them back to the wild when they are grown. The David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage is located 30 minutes from the city centre and the donation fee / entrance charge is KES. 500 (approx. USD 5). The time allowed to see the elephants is between 11-12 noon when the keepers bring them to a restricted area to feed, play and be seen by visitors. The guides also teach about caring for the baby elephants and their history since they were adopted.
