Day 1 is like the first day of school. You are a little anxious about being there but excited at the same time. Then you see the truck it is like, wow! How does this work? And for the first few days it is like a Spanish football side full of superstars that don’t know where to play. After a couple of days it all falls into place and finally makes sense
So, the first day you are a sponge taking in all the sights and sounds of Nairobi. You are slowly introduced to the wondrous animals of Africa with a tour of a Giraffe sanctuary where you feed these 17 foot beasts with food between your lips and get a kiss that even a Frenchman would be proud of.
If that is not enough to make your jaw drop we take you to Sheldrick’s Animal orphanage. When orphaned elephants no older than 6 months enter the arena in military procession, you can hear the ooo and ahhh from the 100 odd spectators waiting to see them guzzle 4Lt of milk in seconds. Everything they do is cute. From there trunks curling around the milk bottle to them slipping and sliding in the watering hole. They are truly magnificent animals to watch.
Tip of the day: You must hold your breath when kissing a giraffe as 18 inches of tongue can really take your breath away!
