The Giraffe Centre Nairobi tour offers one of the most unique wildlife experiences in Kenya, allowing you to get up close and personal with the endangered Rothschild giraffes. Located just outside Nairobi, this is one of the most popular Nairobi half-day tours for visitors of all ages.
The center was established in response to the alarming decline in the Rothschild giraffe population, which had dropped to just 130 individuals in the wild due to habitat loss and agricultural expansion.
Through successful conservation and fundraising efforts, several groups of Rothschild giraffes were relocated to protected areas including:
Thanks to these efforts, the population has grown to over 500 giraffes in Kenya, making the Giraffe Center one of Africa’s great conservation success stories.
Your Nairobi giraffe tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel or residence in Nairobi. You will then be driven to the Giraffe Center, located in a peaceful natural setting.
Upon arrival, you will have the opportunity to climb onto a raised platform where you can hand-feed giraffes and interact with them at eye level — a truly unforgettable experience.
You will also learn about conservation efforts and the importance of protecting endangered wildlife in Kenya through educational exhibits and guided information.
The Giraffe Center plays a major role in environmental education by offering free programs to young Kenyans and promoting awareness about wildlife conservation. A large portion of your entrance fee directly supports these efforts.
For a luxury experience, you can combine your tour with a visit or stay at the famous Giraffe Manor, a boutique hotel located next to the center. Guests can enjoy breakfast while giraffes gently poke their heads through the windows — one of the most iconic experiences in Kenya.
Half Day Tour (Approx. 3–4 Hours)
The Giraffe Center Nairobi is open daily, and tours can be arranged throughout the day. Morning visits are usually less crowded and offer the best interaction experience.
