Day guided tour to Masai Ostrich farm from Nairobi

A visit to Ostrich farm with a guided tour enables you learn about Ostrich rearing from an egg to a fully grown Ostrich. An ostrich is slaughtered at 8 months because the quality and taste of its meat is achieved during that period of growth. There is also the opportunity to view the ostriches.

The tour of the farm takes almost half an hour depending on how inquisitive you or the children are, and what picture opportunities you will get out of your tour. It is very interesting seeing the animals in different stages of growth and sizes.

The two types of ostriches are differentiated by the color of their legs and necks; the Maasai ostrich is red thighs while its Somali counterpart is blue. Another interesting bit about this farm is that it is one of the few establishments that are allowed to sell ostrich meat (which is a restricted game meat) within its establishment. They also supply it outside the ranch and sell the meat, feathers and skin.You able to spot a few animals like zebras, giraffes, antelopes and even buffaloes at the Kitengela Conservation Area.
