The US First Lady landed in Kenya on Thursday night and was received by First Lady Margaret Kenyatta at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi County.
On Friday, they visited the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust’s elephant nursery at Nairobi National Park and later discussed health matters at State House.
Mrs Trump and Mrs Kenyatta’s talks centred on the welfare of mothers and children and conversation, in line with their Be Best and Beyond Zero campaigns, respectively.
The two undertakings “are united under the goal of improving and protecting the well-being of children,” the White House said of their meeting at the White House in August.
At that time, President Uhuru Kenyatta met US President Donald Trump.
Mrs Trump also visited the Kenya National Threatre where she and Mrs Kenyatta were treated to cultural performances.
President Trump earlier tweeted: “Our country’s great First Lady, Melania, is doing really well in Africa. The people love her, and she loves them! It is a beautiful thing to see.”
