Giraffe Centre is located in Langata, just outside Nairobi. The centre has been set up as a breeding centre for the endangered Rothschild giraffe, but now operates conservation/education programs for Kenyan school children. There is an elevated feeding platform where visitors see the resident giraffes face to face. This centre, which protects the highly endangered Rothschild’s giraffe, combines serious conservation with enjoyable activities. You can observe the giraffes, which is quite an experience. You may also spot warthogs snuffling about in the mud.

Take a stroll, or hike if you’re up to it, in our serene 1.5 kilometre nature trail and see how many species of birds you can spot. The trail goes down to the snaking Gogo River. An alternate route back to the centre will pass you by the Warthog Den. This trail is available to you at no extra cost.
