What people are saying about Central Kenya

Everything went well. The visit was as described. We started with the Giraffe Center where we were able to feed a few giraffes and learn about the activity of this center. Then we went to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust center to find out about the orphan elephant protection activity. They explained to us the life of each elephant present (13 in total) at that time. Finally, we had lunch at the Carnivore restaurant with a wide variety of meats and sauces. We were returned to our hotel for 2pm.

A very pleasant cruise with musicians on board and the music was not too loud so perfect. The staff was in our care and the food was excellent and very complete (appetizer, soup, main course, dessert)! I recommend this activity.
