Safari Walk
The Nairobi Safari Walk is a K.W.S. Conservation
project seeking to aware visitors to Kenyan's
wildlife and their habitats. It has been created to
provide a higher standard of conservation project.
The safari walk on the wooden-deck is a recreative
experience. We have variety of animal to be seen
from antelopes, Hyena cheetahs and many others.
Giraffe Centre
Giraffe Centre is a non profit making organisation,
which was founded by the late Betty and Jock Lesilie
Melville in 1979. The late Betty, Jock's American
born wife, had earlier discovered the sad plight of
the Rothschild giraffe and there were only 120 left
on an 18,000 acre ranch in Western Kenya that was
scheduled for sub-division and settlement. The first
effort to save this sub-species was to bring two
young giraffes to their property in Langata and
later Betty founded. Enjoy your self and feed the
Giraffe.
David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage
A a place to visit and experience the wild animal
very close to human. You will come close to elephant
calves! Daphne Sheldrick As part of the David
Sheldrick Conservation Foundation rehabilitates baby
elephants and other wildlife. These babies have lost
their mothers to poaching, death, injuries, on
getting lost in the wild or other tragedies. Daphne
and her dedicated staff raise them to be released
back into the wild when they are ready. Its worth
visiting and see humanitarian care to the wildlife
and the heart it takes to care. The orphanage opens
for 1 hour a day from 1100 Hrs - 1200 Hrs. This is
normally the feeding time of the animals. A keeper
will give a talk about the elephants, where they
came from, how they are getting on, and how some of
the previous orphans are progressing. The orphanage
also takes in rhinos and so if you are lucky you
will get the chance to see a young rhino.
KAZURI
Kazuri, which means “small and beautiful” in
Swahili, began in 1975 as a tiny workshop
experimenting on making handmade beads. The factory
is located in what used to be part of the Karen
Blixen Estate (of the Academy Award winning film
"Out of Africa") fame.
Its founder, Lady Susan Wood, started with two
Kenyan women and soon discovered that there were
many
other women in the villages around Nairobi, most of
whom were single mothers, who were in great need of
regular employment. Driven by the desire to provide
such opportunities, Kazuri has grown and today we
have a large work force skilled in the making of
handmade jewellery. We have further applied our
knowledge of ceramics and the artistic flair that
has made our necklaces so attractive, in the design
and production of our own unique range of
pottery-ware, which reflects the culture and
wildlife of Kenya. Each piece, like our beads, is
hand made and hand painted in rich colours and our
range is extensive from individual collector pieces
to dinnerware.
The mission of Kazuri is to provide and sustain
employment opportunities for disadvantaged members
of Kenyan society. In order to achieve this we must
produce top quality hand-made and hand-painted
ceramic jewellery and pottery. This will ensure that
we are well equipped to compete in both the
international and local market place. The Kazuri
workshop in Karen employs over 340 women, mostly
single mothers. It is equipped with a clinic,
providing free medical care for the employees and
their immediate families. Kazuri also absorbs 80% of
medical bills for treatment received outside the
factory clinic. In the developing world of today’s
Africa, the greatest contribution we can make is to
create employment, especially for the disadvantaged
and this remains our guiding philosophy. The result
is reflected in the strength of the Kazuri Family
and the beauty of our products.
Lunch will be offered at Nairobi and later the Bomas
of Kenya.
Bomas of Kenya
Located at Langata Area Next to Nairobi National
park. The highlight of this tour is the colorful
display of folk dances from various tribes performed
in a splendid arena and acrobats. Later have a walk
to the numerous "bomas" (homesteads) reflecting
Kenya's cocktail of cultures have been re-created
for visitors to experience the traditional village
life of the People of Kenya.
Later drop off at Airport for your International
flight to South Africa for the world cup. |
