Giraffe Centre Overview
Visit the iconic Giraffe Centre and enjoy a unique, up-close encounter with the endangered Rothschild giraffes in a serene natural setting just outside Nairobi city.
Established by the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife, the Giraffe Centre plays a vital role in the conservation and protection of one of Africa’s most endangered giraffe subspecies. This educational and interactive experience allows visitors to learn about giraffe conservation while engaging directly with these gentle giants.
The highlight of the visit is the elevated viewing platform, where you can feed giraffes by hand and even get close enough for unforgettable photos. It’s a rare opportunity to connect with wildlife in a safe and controlled environment, making it ideal for families, students, and nature lovers.
In addition to the giraffe interaction, guests can explore the nature trail within the sanctuary, offering a peaceful walk through indigenous forest filled with birds and small wildlife.
