Our first time as tourists in Nairobi!! We braved the rainy weather to visit the Elephant Orphanage, just a short drive outside the city. The orphanage is open daily for one hour and gives you the chance to get up close to adorable baby elephants! The orphanage rescues baby elephants from all over Kenya, takes care of them and eventually helps them return to the wild. We saw two groups of elephants during our visit - the youngest ones came first and the slightly older (and bigger) elephants came second. We had a great time, and can't wait to go again!
