Nestled in the heart of Nairobi, the Giraffe Centre is a captivating sanctuary dedicated to the conservation of the endangered Rothschild giraffe. This unique attraction invites visitors to engage with these gentle giants in a serene environment, where the lush greenery of a 38-acre forested nature park provides a stunning backdrop. As you step onto the feeding platform, the thrill of having a giraffe lean down to gently take a treat from your hand is an experience that lingers long after your visit.

The Giraffe Centre not only offers a chance to feed these majestic creatures but also serves as an educational hub, teaching visitors about giraffe conservation efforts and the importance of protecting their natural habitats. With knowledgeable staff ready to share fascinating facts, every visit becomes an enriching experience. Did you know that the Rothschild giraffe is distinguished by its lighter coat and fewer spots compared to other giraffe species? This makes them a rare sight, adding to the allure of your visit.

After a delightful encounter with the giraffes, visitors can unwind at the on-site café, which offers a selection of refreshments. Savor a cup of freshly brewed Kenyan coffee while enjoying the tranquil surroundings, or indulge in a light snack that complements the experience. The café's atmosphere is perfect for reflecting on the day's adventures amidst the gentle sounds of nature.

The experience was surreal. Standing mere feet away from these gentle giants, their soft breaths a stark contrast to their imposing stature, was humbling. The giraffe's long, slender tongue, a marvel of nature, delicately plucked the treat from my hand. The sensation of its rough texture against my palm was both unexpected and endearing.
As we descended the platform, I couldn't shake the feeling of having connected with these magnificent creatures on a profound level. The Giraffe Centre, a sanctuary dedicated to their conservation, had become more than just a tourist attraction; it was a testament to the delicate balance between humans and wildlife.

My wife and I had an amazing time at the Giraffe Centre in Nairobi. Getting up close and personal with the majestic Rothschild giraffes was an unforgettable experience. Feeding them and learning about their conservation was both fun and educational.

The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating facts about giraffes and their habitats. The serene environment and the chance to interact with these gentle giants made our visit truly special.

It’s a must-visit spot for anyone in Nairobi, and we highly recommend it to nature and wildlife enthusiasts!

Much smaller than what we expected, can be done in 30 minutes if that. Literally you go in, up a platform, feed the giraffe (quickly before you are moved on), walk down the platform and your done. Can go around again or read some information but very small area. Cafe and gift shop there too. Loved feeding the giraffe but felt like a quick military operation sadly.

Definitely worth a visit. They give you food to feed the giraffes and the huge creatures are actually very carefull when they eat it.
We went early in the morning right after the center had opened and this is probably the best time to go because there was no line for entry and there weren't any other people inside so our photos turned out great.
There is a souvenir shop at the end where you can support the center. The items in there are more expensive compared to other places like the vendors you see on the street or on the Safari trips/shops where you stop for rest.

Beautifully kept space. Great handwashing practice before and after. The giraffe feeding is a soothing experience. Majestic, gentle creatures. Best to go early in the morning. Less crowd and more time to take in the platform scene. The guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. Its a short activity- max 30min to 45. Highly recommended.
