The highlight of the Giraffe Centre was definitely seeing the giraffes up close and feeding them – such a unique and fun experience! 🦒✨ However, a few things could be improved: the café wasn’t working during our visit and the toilets were not clean, which was disappointing. With some better maintenance and facilities, this place could be truly amazing.

Wow!! This was such an amazing experience. Learning about the giraffe centre and the brilliant work they’re doing was an absolute pleasure. The highlight is definitely feeding them though. Some are very cheeky and extremely greedy but you won’t regret visiting!

An unforgettable experience and an absolute must when in Nairobi. The Giraffe Center lets you get up close with these gentle giants in the most respectful and educational way. Feeding them by hand, looking into their curious eyes, and learning about their conservation left me both amazed and deeply moved. It’s more than just a visit — it’s a beautiful reminder of why wildlife matters.

A really nice spot to get close and interact with the giraffes. The staff were very informative and answered all of our questions. Enjoy the cute cafe and gift shop!

It's a great experience, accessible by private or public means. Just a bit crowded on weekends and holiday. Would recommend weekdays but either way you get to enjoy and feed the giraffes up close. Also take a few minutes after to go to the nature trail

A fun and unique stop in Nairobi! The Giraffe Centre lets you get up close with endangered Rothschild giraffes—feed them, learn about conservation, and even get a giraffe kiss if you're brave. Great for families and animal lovers. Educational, interactive, and unforgettable! They are now my favourite animals. Entry ticket is included in Giraffe Manor stay.

The Giraffe Centre in Nairobi is a fun and unique experience, especially for families with kids. Feeding the giraffes is absolutely brilliant and definitely the highlight—it’s not every day you get that close to such amazing animals. However, the visit is quite short; even with the nature trail, it doesn’t last more than an hour. There isn’t much else to do beyond the feeding, so while it’s thoroughly enjoyable, it’s not something you’d spend a whole afternoon on. Still, it’s a great stop if you’re nearby and definitely worth a visit

Truly a memorable experience! Staff were welcoming and efficient. Such a beautiful scenery and the giraffes are the cherry on top! 🦒🦒Best to follow instructions to ensure safety as the giraffes do head-butt. There are other activities as well beyond feeding the giraffes, e.g visit the gift shop and nature walk. It does get a little crowded so for a better experience, try avoid peak hours.
