Giraffe Centre

What a sight to see! These giraffes are beautiful animals and to go get up close is amazing. Entry costs 1,500 Kenyan Shillings per non resident adult and they only accept credit card. You can walk in and purchase your ticket at the ticket window. You only need 1 hour or so. Small information centre and cafe. Kid friendly. Staff here are very nice and helpful. There are drivers available outside if you need to hire one afterwards. Gets crowded on weekends, best to come early. Giraffe Centre is next to Giraffe Manor. Absolutely recommend Giraffe Centre and couldn’t miss this before my first flight out of Kenya!

An unforgettable experience! Totally worth it!! Being so close to the giraffes and interacting with them is truly unique. Everything is very well organized, from the entrance and ticket purchase to getting to the animals, and the signage is clear and helpful. The place has a good structure, with all the necessary instructions and warnings. For example, washing your hands before entering is mandatory, and there are sinks and signs right at the entrance. Everything is easy, quick, and well explained. Being next to the giraffes is an amazing feeling, and feeding them is such a special moment. A truly incredible experience! There are also caretakers who help throughout the visit and make sure everything is done with respect for the animals. At the end, I felt that the souvenir shop and the coffee shop could be better structured, as they are a bit small. Overall, the experience was wonderful, and I would definitely go back :)

My experience was amazing, especially since it was my first time seeing a giraffe so close. I went on a Monday, and there was surprisingly a decent number of people. It’s 1,500 KSH for non residents and 300 KSH for residents. I highly recommend trying it out.

Went on a weekday around midday. It was busy but manageable. A very well kept place in a beautiful part of Nairobi (away from the busyness of the city). You get a portion of pellets to feed the Giraffes and hand washing facilities, which is needed as the giraffes do lick your hand!! The baby giraffes was particularly cute and finished eating. There is a cafe and gift shop on site.

Really great experience from start to finish. So surreal seeing giraffes so close, being able to feed them and didn't feel rushed at all. The masala tea from the cafe was superb too!

Really enjoyable experience! Breeding centre for Rothschild giraffes. Buy tickets on the spot, no reservation needed, only card payment accepted. Costs 1500 KES for non residents and you get a small bowl of pellets to feed the giraffes. Be sure not to tip the bowl or let the giraffes eat from the bowl. Guides are stationed nearby to demonstrate the correct way of holding the pellets to feed the giraffes and ensure rules are followed. There was a very small centre detailing the origins of the Centre and the difference between the three species of giraffes. Small souvenir centre and coffee shop. Lots of free parking outside the centre. A free enclosed park opposite the centre for short hikes.

Super fun place to come see and feed giraffes! Everyone gets a small little bowl and they give you instructions. There is a small cafe and a gift shop. We spent about 30 minutes total in the park and that was plenty of time

We had a guide that took us through the center. This was helpful in helping us find the animals and information. He helped us take pictures with one of the resident giraffes. We learned about their preservation efforts. It was a great way to start our trip before safari
