“Twiga- Giraffes in Swahili”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013

The Giraffe Center was difficult to find (for the cab driver who was quite possibly stoned) but worth the wait. You can hand (or mouth) feed giraffes and the volunteers are knowledgeable and friendly. There is also a nature walk that is easily self-led and beautiful. A little pricey but worth it if looking for things to do in Nairobi.

“Giraffe center”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013

I visited in Giraffe center in april 2010. We got good information about giraffes and to feed them also. Quite small park, but just enough for me. Loved the giraffes! In area is also a restaurant and souvenier shop.

“Amazing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 8, 2013

Right on the border of the city. Lions, giraffe, ostrich, warthog, gazelle, baboons, monkeys, zebra, rhino... and a restaurant on site. Our driver was really great too.

“Half to one day tour.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2013

The best way to do this tour is by finding your own driver with a safari van. You ca go to Nairobi National Park very early in the morning when the animals are active. By 11 am, they will retreat under the shadows of the trees and you can go the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to see the baby elephants. After that you can have a visit at the karen Blixen House and finish your day at the Giraffe Centre hand feeding endangered Rotschild Giraffes. Don't go to the Giraffe Centre at midday as the animals run to the shadows far away from the viewing and feeding platform.
