The Giraffe Centre, situated in the scenic Karen area to the south of Nairobi, is a captivating and educational attraction that offers visitors an extraordinary opportunity to learn about and interact with the magnificent Rothschild giraffes. This renowned conservation center was established with the primary goal of educating school children and curious visitors about these remarkable creatures. Originating from the town of Eldoret in western Kenya, the initial giraffes were captured and then thoughtfully relocated to the Nairobi area.
Today, the Giraffe Centre boasts a thriving population of these elegant creatures, and it has evolved into a hub of conservation efforts aimed at protecting these giraffes’ habitat and overall well-being. The center’s mission has expanded beyond education, becoming a vital player in the preservation of this endangered species. The center’s initiatives draw in a diverse array of visitors, ranging from eager school children to enthusiastic travelers from around the globe.
