Por qué lo recomienda la gente del lugar
Located in Karen, the Giraffe Centre is special because you stand on a raised platform to get up to eye level with the endangered Rothschild’s giraffes and feed them grass pellets. The giraffes’ long, slimy tongues make the kids squeal! The whole centre includes a large reserve for the giraffes, and an education centre to learn about the species. Karen is also full of lovely restaurants, so once you’ve seen the giraffes you can pop off for lunch. Try the Purdy Arms, a garden restaurant with a huge grassy lawn, and activities for kids. You can also stay at the historic Giraffe Manor next door to the Giraffe Centre.

The Giraffe Centre is located in Lang'ata, approximately 20 kilometres from the centre of Nairobi, Kenya. It was established in order to protect the vulnerable giraffe, that is found only in the grasslands of East Africa.
Just next door to us in Langata, you find the giraffe sanctuary, that gives guests an opportunity to get up close and personal with Rothschild giraffes. The objective of the centre is to provide free environmental education to the Kenyan youth and provide conservation of the endangered species.
This Giraffe sanctuary created by the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife is a non-profit originally formed as a place to safe keep the endangered Rothschild Giraffe. Since then it has gained fame for educating the youth about Kenya’s wildlife and environment. This is a family friendly activity which allows one to get up close and personal with our tall friends.
