It has been 16 years since our last visit to the Giraffe Center. This trip brought back so many memories. We went early in the morning so that the giraffes would still be hungry. It was so much fun, and we captured such nice photo memories.

The Giraffe Centre was incredible. Definitely a must do for adults and kids. Up close and friendly with the giraffes, and they are eager to eat from your hand. Great place for photo ops. Can't do better. Avoid weekends if you can. We were fortunate to go on a Monday so there were no crowds.

Our visit to the Giraffe Centre in Nairobi was amazing. The staff were friendly and gave us a great overview of the center's work. Feeding the giraffes up close was a highlight, especially for the kids. We also enjoyed the educational talks on giraffe conservation, learning a lot about their species and challenges. The well-maintained facility made us feel the giraffes were well cared for. It was a fun and educational experience for the whole family, leaving us with a deeper appreciation for these magnificent animals

Amazing place you get to feed the giraffes and there’s also a museum room thing that tells you all about the history of the place and about the different giraffe species. The tour guides are very knowledgeable and will answer every question and know everything about each giraffe in the centre. Would definitely recommend.

It was such a fantastic experience. Giraffes are so adorable and beautiful. We can feed them and I really enjoyed interacting with them in a calm nature. When entering, nobody is allowed to take plastic bottles inside which can be retrieved. Great initiative for preserving the environment.
