About Giraffe Centre Experience
A Giraffe Centre Nairobi visit is one of the easiest conservation experiences to add to a Nairobi stopover or the first or last day of a Kenya safari. The centre is operated by the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (AFEW Kenya).
The organisation’s work combines Rothschild’s giraffe conservation with environmental education. Visitors can meet giraffes at the feeding platform, speak with educators and learn how the breeding and translocation programme has contributed to conservation in Kenya.
The centre also has a nature sanctuary and walking trail, making it possible to spend time beyond the main giraffe platform. AFEW recommends allowing roughly 1.5 to two hours for a fulfilling visit.
Greatlink Safaris can combine the Giraffe Centre with Karen Blixen Museum, Nairobi National Park or another Nairobi excursion according to available time.
For current visitor information, see the official Giraffe Centre website.

Practical information
Time: allow about 1.5 to two hours if you want to include the education areas and nature trail rather than only the feeding platform.
Busy periods: the centre can become crowded, especially around midday, weekends and public holidays.
Feeding: use only food and instructions provided by the centre.
Children and groups: organised school/group arrangements may have specific booking procedures.
Opening information: rates and opening details can change, so Greatlink Safaris reconfirms them when building the final Nairobi programme.
