Giraffe Centre : info and guided tour

Introduction to Giraffe Centre

The Giraffe Centre is a conservation and tourist attraction site located in Nairobi, on Duma Rd. It is best known for offering close encounters with Rothschild’s giraffes, a rare subspecies emblematic of Kenya. The site combines wildlife observation, awareness-raising, and the discovery of a space designed for direct contact with animals.

Originally created to help protect Rothschild’s giraffes, the centre has grown into an essential destination for understanding the conservation efforts carried out in Kenya. Its purpose is both educational and heritage-oriented, with a simple setting where visitors observe the giraffes from elevated platforms and specially arranged viewing areas.

The site is famous for the very close experience it offers with the giraffes, especially the moment when they approach visitors from the walkways. There are also information panels about their biology and protection. The whole place is not an architectural monument, but rather a visitor site organized around direct contact with nature.
