Giraffe Centre Tours & Tickets

The Giraffe Centre in Nairobi, Kenya's only giraffe sanctuary, is home to the endangered Rothschild's giraffe, of which fewer than 670 exist in the wild.

Giraffes are the tallest land animals, reaching up to 18 feet (5.5 metres) in height, with their long necks accounting for much of that length.

Kenya's giraffe population spans multiple subspecies including the Masai giraffe, the most common across East African savannas, and the reticulated giraffe found in the north.

Giraffe calves are born standing and can run within hours, a crucial survival adaptation in Kenya's open grasslands where predators roam.

The Giraffe Centre allows visitors to hand-feed giraffes from an elevated platform, making it one of Africa's most intimate wildlife experiences.

Giraffes have a 20-inch-long tongue designed to strip leaves from acacia trees, their primary food source across Kenya's national parks.
