45 minutes from JKIA to Nairobi city hotels
Your East Africa safari adventure begins today as you arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya. After clearing immigration and collecting your luggage, meet your Plentiful Adventures representative in the international arrivals hall holding a name sign. Transfer to your hotel in Nairobi through the city's lively streets, passing the Central Business District with its jacaranda-lined avenues and the distant sight of the Nairobi National Park's open plains visible against the skyline.
After checking in and freshening up, spend the afternoon at leisure. The Giraffe Centre in the Karen suburb offers the extraordinary experience of hand-feeding endangered Rothschild giraffes from an elevated wooden platform. The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust orphanage conducts its famous baby elephant bottle-feeding session at 11am and 3pm. Alternatively, stroll through the Karen Blixen Museum in its original coffee farm setting, or browse the craft shops and restaurants of the Westlands neighborhood.
This evening, gather for an introductory briefing about your safari itinerary, safety guidelines, and wildlife expectations. Enjoy a welcome dinner at the hotel and sample Kenyan cuisine: nyama choma, mukimo, or a fragrant pilau rice. Raise a glass of Tusker lager to the adventure ahead. Early bedtime recommended as your first game drive starts at dawn.
