The Giraffe Centre in Nairobi is an amazing place to visit. It started as a rehabilitation project to rescue the Rothschild Giraffe. There were only 120 giraffes left in a ranch in Western Kenya when the Giraffe Center was founded. The actual non-profit organization is called the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife Kenya (AFEW). The original house of the founders has been converted into a very impressive boutique hotel called the Giraffe Manor. The center is located roughly 12.5 miles (20km) away from the center of Nairobi.
The giraffe centre is managed by the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (AFEW) which is a conservation education NGO which supports teaching of conservation education in schools through documentaries, organizing inter-schools contests and production of education pamphlets, brochures and posters.
The giraffe centre provides you with pellets that you can feed the giraffes by hand with. You can even give take photos while feeding the animals by your mouth and it seems like you are kissing the giraffe. That is a priceless photo opportunity to miss.
Giraffe centre & manor day tour starts from your hotel after breakfast and drive to the Karen suburbs where the sanctuary is located.
Arrive and start feeding the giraffes as you hug them and take pictures up close with these humble giants.
Giraffe centre and manor centre day tour ends with a drop off in your hotel in the city.
The giraffe centre and manor centre hotel are great places to stay around giraffes and learn about their conservation efforts in Kenya.
