I really enjoyed this once in a lifetime adventure! We were able to pet and feed giraffes, visit with baby elephants and even a baby rhino. We learned about the bead making process and heard the touching stories of the women at the bead factory. After lunch at a tasty and scenic restaurant we ended the day with Bomas of Kenya. The singing and dancing performances were a beautiful end to an amazing day.
Thank you Stephen Mutuku (my driver and guide for the day) for being an excellent, knowledgeable and courteous host.

A long but fun-filled day. The Giraffe Center was a lot of fun! Feeding the giraffes was so cool! We also learned quite a bit and got to see actual bones. The Elephant Orphanage was also really cool. The elephants were close enough to touch. They were very playful and fun to watch! The Bead Center was so interesting! We got to see how the beads are made and painted individually. The Bomas of Kenya was so much fun! The music was incredible and the dancing was so impressive! They even invited the audience to dance with them!

Wonderful experience feeding the giraffes and seeing both the giraffes and elephants up close. Good commentary on the refuges' purpose and background. The bead center was OK essentially a tourist trap and shopping experience. Bomas of Kenya was a great show. The school children got really involved especially during the intermission when they ran to the stage and and danced and sang to Kenyan pop for 10 minutes. Coreography of the dances was really well done and enjoyed the acrobatics show at the end.

The Griraffe Center was amazing (we were there shortly after opening, so that was perfect as there were almost no people!). Then we were in the Elephant Orphanage for 1h - the little rhyno was super cute! The beads factory is also very pleasant and then in the Bomas you'll experience 1.5h of traditional dances starting at 14.30.
Overall the trip was very well organised, just have in mind that there are quite long breakes between the attractions - if you start giraffes at 9.00 then the orphanage opens at 11.00, so you will have a stop in between in a souvenir store (quite good one). The guide was very professional and friendly.

The giraffes & elephants of course were my favorite to see! The bead factory offered lots of beautiful jewelry and the ladies are very informative of the bead making process throughout the tour! The Bomas of Kenya center offered a window into the history and traditions of Kenya regions. Oh and of course our driver was most courteous!
