Giraffe Centre
The Giraffe Centre, located in Langata, Nairobi, is a conservation haven dedicated to protecting the endangered Rothschild giraffe. Established in 1979 by the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (AFEW), this center is not just a sanctuary but also an educational hub. Visitors can interact with these majestic animals by feeding them from a raised platform, offering a unique opportunity to see giraffes up close while learning about their behavior and conservation.

Things to Know Before You Go
Carry comfortable shoes and a camera to capture memorable moments. Feeding pellets are provided at the center, so there’s no need to bring your own food. While the giraffes are friendly, always follow staff instructions to ensure safety. Early morning visits are ideal as the animals are more active, and the crowds are smaller.
How to Get There
The Giraffe Centre is approximately 10 kilometers from Nairobi’s city center. It’s easily accessible via Langata Road by private car, taxi, or ride-hailing apps. Alternatively, many tour companies in Nairobi include the Giraffe Centre in their day-trip packages.
When to Get There
The center operates year-round, but visiting during the early hours ensures a quieter and more personal experience with the giraffes. Weekdays are generally less crowded compared to weekends and holidays.
