Very cool, even if you're not a giraffe fiend. There are only a few hundred Rothschild giraffes left in the wild and you have the oppotunity to feed them from your hands (or lips if you want a "giraffe kiss") and can even pet them. It's pretty small - the actual giraffe feeding area - but the giraffes come up... more

Very expensive cab ride ($40), $10 to get in, to climb a set of stairs and feed a giraffe. Cute, but really not worth the time and money. Skip it. more

Not far outside of Nairobi, the giraffe center is a wonderful place to begin or end your Kenyan adventure! Feed giraffes by hand, take a guided nature walk and see a bull in the wild if you're lucky, learn about the different types of giraffes. Definitely a unique experience!! I also went to Mamba Village to see the crocodiles, and... more

A visit to the Giraffe Center is a nice activity to include while in Nairobi, especially for children. A 20-30 minute drive from the city center, the Giraffe Center gives a taste of the Africa most tourists came to Kenya to see. It is one of the few places in the country where you can be up close with animals,... more
