Elephant and Giraffe Sanctuary!

Waking up on our very last day of this Africa trip, packing our bags suitable for the long journey home and checking out of our final accomodation.
We had an early start to check off some last little bits before heading to the airport.
First up, we visited a Giraffe rehabilitation centre! This was really cool! It was a board walk that we could go along and feed the giraffes and learn about each of them and how they got into the sanctuary.
After seeing this animals in the wild, it was so cool to be so close and personal in the giraffes face being able to feed them and pat their heads.
We then departed to head to our second stop which was an Elephant orphanage! 0h wow was this a great time! The elephant orphanage is only opened for 1 hour each day so it was a little packed at first, but once the gates opened up, we hurried inside to get a spot around the ropes where the baby elephants would be coming in.
We got to see 17 baby elephants, split up into two groups, one at a time. We watched as they got fed their milk bottle, rolled around in the dirt piles, drank and sprayed water and ate some leave branches. The elephants weren’t shy, they were more than happy for us to come close and pat them feeling their very thick and leather like skin. As we watched all the elephants enjoy themselves, we had the host telling us over the microphone about each individual elephant. All had been rescued from various situations, treated at the orphanage to become healthy and happy again and soon each of them will be re-introduced to the wild.
This elephant orphanage was a really great and special visit, one of my favourite parts of this holiday I must say!
After getting a souvenir, we then headed to our third and final destination before the airport - the entrance of Nairobi National park where they had a rehabilitation like zoo. We only had a quick 30 minutes here so Nicole, josh, Jordan, Amos and I quickly zoomed around the main circuit seeing the last few African animals and of course, our aim, seeing up close a Rhino.
Officially our holiday has come to an end now! Very ready to return home but sad to be leaving such a beautiful country filled with Gods creatures.
We headed to the airport, arriving at 2pm, we said our goodbyes to Josh and Nicole, and checked into our flights.
Our first flight was Nairobi to Dubai - this was the easy part, a quick 5 hours and we were there!Read more
