Giraffe Centre Experience in Nairobi

Experience Africa. Discover Yourself.

Imagine standing just a few feet away from a towering giraffe as it slowly walks toward you, its long neck stretching down to meet your hand.

You raise a small pellet of feed, and suddenly those famous eyelashes are right in front of you.

This is the Giraffe Centre experience in Nairobi—one of Kenya’s most memorable wildlife encounters and an ideal introduction to the country’s remarkable conservation story.

Located in the leafy Karen area of Nairobi, the Giraffe Centre provides visitors with an opportunity to get remarkably close to Rothschild’s giraffes while learning about wildlife conservation and the importance of protecting Kenya’s endangered species.

With African Retreat Tours, your visit can easily be included in a Nairobi city tour, Kenya safari, airport excursion, or pre- and post-safari itinerary.
