Such an experience - What a great day Was picked up at my hotel and driver messaged to let me know about traffic, communication with the driver Titus were brilliant all day Went to see the elephants as part of a package I picked and this was by far the best experience I’ve had in Nairobi, I was excited to get to see the baby elephants and hear all about them but wasn’t sure if I could touch them well you can if they come up to you The keepers have twigs all around near where everyone stands and also bottles over with them so the first lot of babies come out and run straight for the bottles of course, so cute to see them the other one hold the bottle by themselves When they finish their bottles they start to walk around to the leaves and branches left out for them and this is where you get to pet them 🥰 they don’t seem to mind at all as they stand and let you pet them or walk along to see everyone, the se on lot of babies which are bit bigger do the same only they are more playful with each other like human siblings they push and bump each other out of the way and play very funny to watch Any then there was the baby Rhino well she is just the cutest thing, I’ve never got to interact with a rhino never mind pet a teeny baby one she was just adorable following her keeper and having a look at everything around her The keepers are amazing full of knowledge about every animal and you can see the animals love them, one of the keepers talked to us the hole time explaining about each elephant and their story which was nice to hear the background and ages etc There is a little shop on the way in or out with some lovely things from shopping bags to figures, pictures, elephant adoptions etc so much stuff and they weren’t expensive, support a good cause and get some gifts to bring home On the way back to the van we seen some baboons wondering about, we’re not bother by people nor did they wanna bother us, charm of being in the National pack all sorts of animals all around

Highly recommended experience! - Such a special experience being a part of the baby elephants story. Met the baby elephants during feeding time and had opportunities to support them.

Memorable and Eye opening - Its a memorable experience Its very sad what the elephants go through. We are grateful that the Foundation are doing their best to save the orphaned elephants

I loved having been able... - I loved having been able to visit the orphanage I read about in a book by Daphne Sheldrick. Never thought I would ever get the opportunity. Loved being able to support the good cause. Loved the elephants rumbling.

Fun tour - It was a fun trip to see the baby elephants. This trip also stopping by the beads factory but it is not specified in the description.

Wow wow wow - Such an amazing activity and an opportunity to donate to such a good cause. We adopted an elephant it’s so hard not to when you see them playing and know their background.

Baby elephants - I love this place and visit whenever I'm in Nairobi. The program is so important and their messaging is clear. These babies need a chance and this is one place where they are getting it. The babies are well cared for and you get to see it up close. I highly recommend stopping by, but make reservations!

Amazing, professional, exceptional - We went on the Elephant Orphanage and Giraffe centre tour and it was AMAZING! Our tour guide Stephen was perfectly on time, had so much knowledge about the animals and lots of little tips to help us get the best photo spots and up-close experience with the animals. Usually I don’t leave reviews but Grace and her team were extremely professional and made our trip to Kenya so memorable. They were so helpful and really kind. If you’re booking any day trips or safari I would chose this company. I wish we booked another day trip and/or safari with them because they are so friendly and knowledgeable. We are a young Irish couple who traveled to Kenya for the first time and if you are in the same position as us, I highly recommend booking through Gracepatt Eco tours. Truly exceptional!

Good Tour, but I had to pay $45 more on site. - I enjoyed seeing the baby elephants and the baby rhino. I did not like that after I paid $105 for this short experience, I still had to pay an additional $45 for park entrance. If I had understood the total cost of this tour, I very likely would have chosen something else. If there are additional costs, please be very clear about that in the tour description.

Last Minute Cancellation! - The Local tour guide cancelled an hour before the scheduled pick up with a short curt message. I had already paid for the tour and at no point were we told that the local guide did not have confirmed slots. Our group had paid to extend our stay in Nairobi which included hotels and flights just for this tour. No compensation or alternate options were given. Book directly on the Sheldrick website, not through Gracepatt Ecotours.
