Get picked up from your Nairobi hotel and enjoy a short drive to the leafy suburb of Lang’ata, just 20 km from the city center. Here lies the Giraffe Centre, a world-renowned conservation hub dedicated to protecting the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe — one of Kenya’s most iconic wildlife species. Learn more on Wikipedia.
Begin your visit by stepping onto the raised observation platform, where you can meet these gentle giants face-to-face. Offer them specially prepared pellets and feel the soft, curious nudge of their long tongues as they take food directly from your hand — a truly unforgettable wildlife encounter.
Take your time capturing incredible photos, from close-up portraits to wide shots of giraffes set against the lush greenery of the center. If you’re lucky, you might even receive a playful ‘giraffe kiss,’ making for a memorable and unique Nairobi experience.
Explore the educational displays and learn about the Giraffe Centre’s conservation work, including breeding programs and habitat protection. Gain insight into Kenya’s broader wildlife ecosystem and the importance of safeguarding endangered species for future generations.
After a morning of close-up encounters, conservation learning, and memorable photography, relax on the return drive and enjoy a comfortable drop-off back at your hotel in Nairobi.
