Loved the visit to the giraffe center. Enjoyed feeding the giraffes. A nice curio shop also nearby for shopping.

“If you are a big fan of giraff then you go”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

a very samll place..I saw 3 giraff. Be honest, there's nothing can attract me really after a safari game. But if you only stop in Narobi for a couple days and not planning for a safari trip then it's a place worth to go.

“Okay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

You get to feed and kiss a Rotschild giraffe which makes it worthwhile but the information about these animals is slight and the nature walk is boring.

If you are lucky enough to stay at Giraffe Manor there is not much point in coming over unless you need tacky souvenits from the gift shop.

“Kiss a giraffe”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

I've been to the center 3 times. Each time it is a thrill to feed the giraffes and exchange kisses - literally! Giraffes have antiseptic saliva so it is safe but who cares, where else would you get this opportunity to get up close and personal with a giraffe? The center is doing significant work in conservation and education.
