The places we cannot shut up about.
Amboseli
Amboseli National Park, set in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro — Africa's highest peak — offers one of the most iconic and photogenic safari experiences on the continent. Located in southern Kenya near the Tanzanian border, Amboseli is renowned for its large free-roaming elephant herds, whose majestic silhouettes against the snow-capped backdrop of Kilimanjaro create images that define the spirit of Africa. Beyond elephants, the park teems with lions, cheetahs, zebras, wildebeest, and over 600 species of birds, making it a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers alike. The park's diverse landscapes — from dried lake beds and swamps to open plains and acacia woodlands — ensure every game drive tells a different story
David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Nestled within Nairobi National Park, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is one of Africa's most celebrated and heartwarming conservation success stories. Founded in honor of the legendary conservationist David Sheldrick, the trust operates the world's most successful elephant and rhino orphan rescue and rehabilitation program. Visitors are welcomed for a daily viewing hour to meet the orphaned baby elephants — rescued from poaching, drought, and human-wildlife conflict — and witness their journey toward eventual release back into the wild. A visit here is as moving as it is inspiring.
Girrafe Centre
Giraffe Centre Sanctuary Located in the leafy suburb of Langata in Nairobi, the Giraffe Centre is a beloved conservation sanctuary dedicated to the protection of the endangered Rothschild giraffe — one of the rarest giraffe subspecies in the world. Established in 1979, the centre offers visitors the rare and delightful opportunity to hand-feed and interact up-close with these gentle giants. Beyond the memorable experience, the centre plays a vital role in breeding and reintroducing Rothschild giraffes into protected parks across Kenya, making every visit a direct contribution to their survival.
Karen Blixen Museum
Karen Blixen Museum Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Ngong Hills in the upscale Nairobi suburb of Karen, the Karen Blixen Museum is a window into colonial Kenya's rich and complex history. Once the farmhouse of Danish author Karen Blixen, immortalized in her memoir Out of Africa, the carefully preserved estate transports visitors to early 20th-century Kenya with its period furnishings, lush gardens, and personal memorabilia. The museum offers a fascinating blend of literary heritage, cultural history, and colonial-era architecture, and remains one of Nairobi's most treasured and evocative landmarks.
