"Nairobi Giraffe Centre visit review"

Based at Palacina on 13 Aug 2023
"What a fun place to visit!

Feeding the giraffes is a highlight, and there is a solid educational component as well. We went early in the day to beat the crowds (recommended) and had a wonderful time. It's fun for adults but quite magical for children and even a bit scary at first, as you're feeding the animals from a raised platform and they really want their food!

Note that you won't spend hours here, it's a good "stop along the way" but certainly not a half day excursion. There is nearby shopping making it a highlight of a morning or afternoon spent in the neighborhood." Read more about this whole safari

"This is not the kind of attraction I would ordinarily seek out, but it was very interesting to see the giraffes up close.

The young woman who showed us around and presented information about giraffes at the end of our visit was very engaging." Read more about this whole safari

"We were really lucky in our visit to the Giraffe centre as it wasn't that busy when we arrived, so we were able to have a good time taking photos and handling the giraffes.

There is also a small kiosk that ran an interesting presentation on the animals in the sanctuary and then differences between the three different types of giraffes.

It does get very busy though, by the end of our visit it was so busy that getting good photos would've been impossible." Read more about this whole safari

"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

"Nairobi Giraffe Centre visit review"

Based at Tamarind Tree Hotel on 31 Oct 2022
"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
