The migration of wildebeests and zebras have now entered the Mara. This has been confirmed today (7th June, 2017) after a fact finding mission round the entry points along the Mara and Serengeti border. Though this is still in its’ initial stages, every indication shows that the stage is set for the world’s most fascinating wildlife spectacle. A few herds of mainly zebras and wildebeest have crossed the border near sand river gate. They could be seen this morning taking their traditional route towards Roan hill, and some have already crossed the main road to the Mara river from Sekenani gate. Their movement however is slower because of the amount of grass in their way. Since April this year we have continued having intermittent rains which has made the plains covered in long green grass. we are still experiencing sporadic rain showers.
Book any of our safaris starting from Nairobi and going to Masai Mara National Reserve either by Road or Fly to Masai Mara.
Nairobi is the capital city of Kenya and is 160 Kms (100 miles) from the equator.The name "Nairobi" comes from the Maasai phrase Enkare Nyirobi, which translates to "the place of cool waters". However, it is popularly known as the "Green City in the Sun" .Its principle landmark buildings, museum, game parks, hotels and resorts are a must see when you visit the city. It is possible to book a tour combining with airport transfer and drop you at the airport. Are you in Kenya already? Ask A Question ?
Twice Daily / 3 hrs / 0900hrs and 1400hrs Tour the Karen Blixen museum, The giraffe Centre and Kazuri beads craft centre within the environs of Karen.
Cost is USD70 per person - For INSTANT BOOKINGS - read below
We start of to the Giraffe Centre, Headquarters for the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife made famous by 'Daisy Rothschild', a giraffe calf rescued from Soi, on the Western Kenya border, Daisy and her family form only a small part of a herd of these gentle giants, living in a semi wild state at Giraffe Manor. These animals will come to a protecting wall to be fed when you can come eye to knee with the tallest animal in the world.
Make most use of your ticket when you go to the Giraffe center nature trail up untill the Gogo river.
This is where most people don’t get to see and its a fascinating place to walk in the nature, with bushes on either side and birds giving the most wondrous songs. Reach down to the river and search for giraffes in the wild as well but be careful you must stay at least 15meters from the Giraffes.
So the next time you visit the Giraffe center remember to visit the nature trail as well and make most of your tour ticket. The trail will take about 1 hour going up and down in a relaxing pace.
We then drive you to relive a small part of Kenya's colourful history. Karen Blixen's home, "Mbogani House", made famous by the film 'Out of Africa' has been restored by the Danish Community of Kenya, and comes under the umbrella of the National Museums of Kenya. Karen Blixen lived in the house from 1917 to 1931 when her farm had to be sold and she left Kenya never to return.
Inside the house you can see the books and cuckoo clock which were presented to the museum from the sets of the film. There is also a picture in the lounge and a china turkey which were Karen's own possessions. On the bookcases you will see the brass plaque on which 'DHF' (Dennis Finch Hatton) are engraved.
From the garden you can enjoy the magnificent views of the Ngong Hills and at the front of the house look out for the original millstone tables from which she conducted so much of her farm business.
Leaving the Museum,
Drive or walk a short distance to Kazuri Ltd where a team of African women hand paints a variety of ceramic beads for stringing into high fashion necklaces. Buying these necklaces you help the African women who are supported by the center. This tour may be combined with lunch at the KarenBlixen coffee gardern, the carnivore restaurant or similar at an extra cost.

One reviewer had this to say ;
"We wanted an African Safari experience and originally thought about going to the Masai Mara region. After we were informed of the poor unpaved roads and uncomfortably long drive we opted for the Nairobi National Park safari tour. I was not disappointed. We saw lots of wildlife including Hippos, Giraffes, Zebras, Gazelles, Baboons, Water Buffalo, Many different Birds and a glimpse of two Lions. We opted for the 6am pick-up with lunch. The "Carnivour Restaurant" was really enjoyable. The staff and food was excellent. The skewers of meat just kept coming. There was atleast 15 different BBQ meats before I saw one repeated. The "fixings" we're also great."

Another review about the Nairobi National Park Tour
Well worth a visit, great opportunity to see wildlife.
5.0/5stars
The morning tour was wonderful. We saw a huge variety of animals in their natural surroundings. Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative. A great way to have a safari experience if your time is limited.
