Close to Narobi National Park, you can see there (in cages) the animals that you did not see in the Park. You will see the "Zedonk", a mix of Zebra and Donkey born in the Orphanage. More

I agree that this is difficult to see after being on a safari. However you must remember that it is an orphanage and not a zoo. These animals would not have survived if they were not here. You can see many of the animals, lions, cheetahs, leopards, servals etc up close. The keepers are very passionate. A good visit will... More

This is the Animal Orphanage not to be confused with the Elephant Orphanage. We were very disappointed at our visit to the Animal Orphanage. It was run down and it was disappointing to see the animals in these enclosures. We had been on safari and seen the animals roaming in the wild. It's expensive for non Kenyans (US$15) and I... More

I had been here before, and went again as our daughter and friends hadn't been there yet. The good things: lots of animals which you might otherwise not easily see, interesting stories about where the animals were found as orphans and how they grew up. We were there at the feeding time, and the animals were obviously quite active. However,... More
