"We wanted to see the giraffes up close and that we did! Not only did we get to observe them, we were able to interact with them.
Set on the beautiful grounds of the Giraffe Manor without having to pay the high Giraffe Manor hotel prices.
Can get crowded on the bridge but with a little patience you’ll get a wonderful experience." Read more about this whole safari

"The Giraffe Centre provides an opportunity to learn and view the endangered Rothchild's Giraffe, for which this sanctuary is a breeding centre.
They have made substantial renovations to the facility, which make it feel bigger, however they have also expanded the barriers between the viewing platform and animals, resulting in a less-interactive opportunity than existing a couple of years ago.
You can feed the giraffe, and listen to the presentation on the animals... but ultimately an hour is more than enough time to cover everything.
Fortunately the cost is minimal... although at the time of our visit, note that they were not accepting cash." Read more about this whole safari

"Great close-ups of the giraffes"
Based at Macushla House on 13 Jul 2022
"Seeing the giraffes so close and being able to feed them was a very enjoyable experience. We spent around half an hour here. I think we were lucky in that we went at a quiet time in the morning. It was very busy when we past later in the afternoons (apparently it is popular to go there after the Sheldrick elephant orphanage)."

"Great to get close to the giraffes but it was totally packed and the giraffes looked fairly uninterested in the food - I think they were full by the time we got there!"
