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.
