  WOW! What a surreal experience. The centre was great particular thank to the wonderful employee Gloria. She made this visit truly special, she had so much knowledge on the giraffes and wildlife and was so easy to talk too and learn from :)

  Giraffe center is a must visit if you visit Kenya. But do visit it before you go on any safari as if you do it after a safari it will feel like an anticlimax. It is a very nice way to interact with the giraffes up close and learn more about them. It takes just a couple of hours for the whole visit. I would imagine it would be even less if you get there early when it opens and beat the crowds.

  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 :)

  We stepped into the center not expecting much as a stopover during a long drive. We came out so happy having fed the giraffes and having listened in a conference on girafes. The guide was so knowledgeable we were able to spot and recognise giraffes in the wild! Loved it, absolutely recommend it with kids! Remember to bring a bit of cash to leave in the donation box for local school children!

  I recently visited the Giraffe Centre, and it turned out to be one of the most wholesome experiences I’ve had in Nairobi. From the moment I walked in, the place felt calm, organized, and very welcoming. The best part was getting to feed the giraffes up close. Standing on the raised platform and having a giraffe gently lean in for a food pellet is such a surreal moment — they’re incredibly calm and friendly. It’s one of those experiences you can’t fully describe until you actually do it. The staff were really friendly and knew so much about the giraffes. They explained how each giraffe has its own personality, and you can actually notice it when you’re feeding them. It made the whole experience feel more meaningful, not just like a typical tourist stop. The place is well-kept, clean, and perfect for photos. If you have time, the little nature trail inside the compound is a nice bonus — quiet, peaceful, and a good escape before you leave. It does get a bit crowded depending on the time of day, so going early is a plus. Souvenirs are there, but slightly pricey if you’re on a budget. Overall, it’s a short visit, but a really memorable one. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, the Giraffe Centre is definitely worth the stop — it leaves you with a deeper appreciation for wildlife and some great photos to go home with.
