Giraffe Centre
Waktu terbaik untuk berkunjung
Early morning or late afternoon, when giraffes are most active and temperatures are cooler. Visit on a weekday to avoid school group crowds.
Tips anggaran
Separate fees apply for international visitors and Kenyan/East African residents, so check the official site for current rates; children and students often have discounts. Combine with the nearby David Sheldrick visit or use a Nairobi attractions pass to save on transport and entrance costs.

Fakta cepat: Lean over the raised feeding platform and feel a rough, prehensile tongue wrap around a carrot, a startlingly intimate way to meet a giraffe. Guided conservation programs helped raise counts of the endangered Rothschild's giraffe through captive breeding and reintroduction, and playful calves are often visible during walks.
Sorotan: Climbing the wooden feeding platform and holding out a handful of pellets feels like a dare: a dark purple tongue about 45 centimeters long curls around your palm and the rasping lick leaves a ticklish, gritty sensation. Founded by conservationists Jock and Betty Leslie-Melville to save endangered Rothschild's giraffes, the place runs playful education sessions where local schoolchildren crowd the rails to feed curious calves while keepers jot each animal's growth on handwritten cards.
Tips orang dalam
- Wear neutral, sun-protective clothing and comfortable shoes since grounds are dusty.
- Bring small KSh notes for photo tips, souvenirs, and snacks, coins can be inconvenient.
- Stand on the raised observation platform for the best close-up photos of giraffe heads and tongues.
- Arrive just before feeding times to grab a front spot, or come on a weekday to avoid school group crowds.
