Giraffe Encounter times touristy - Very well maintained complex. The giraffes literally eat out of your hand. There is wifi and a merchandise shop.

One of the top visits to do on a short visit/stopover in Nairobi. - What a lovely place to see giraffes up close. Great programme of breeding and releasing back into the National nature reserves, increasing the population of Giraffes that were close to extinction. Started by rescuing abandoned Giraffes (older ones still there) that were reared and cannot be released back into the wild. Feeding the giraffes is an experience you wouldn't normally get, but please note it's not their natural food and is like candy to them otherwise they wouldn't come, however this is doing them no harm at all. All the giraffes look extremely well cared for and their enclosure is extremely large if they didn't want the candy or be seen by visitors they have plenty of space to avoid you. You can see Giraffe Manor through the trees without the $$$$ 🤑 needed to stay there and you still get the exposure to the giraffes to feed them as you would if you stayed. The staff are brilliant really friendly and knowledgeable without being pushy. Listen to the staff when you visit this is usually for your safety as another visitor found out as the giraffe went in for a love head butt 🤣🤣. Would recommend a visit to the giraffe centre, especially if you have a limited stay or stop over in Nairobi. Booked through Expedia - picked up on time from hotel and they do offer pick up and drop off to airport if you are really short of time. With travel to and return from the centre about 3 - 4 hrs recommended time frame to give yourself.

Brilliant trip - We had a brilliant time at the Giraffe Centre. Our guide, Edwin, had great knowledge of the centre and the giraffes. He was able to talk us through the history and gave us tips when feeding. We thought the centre was really well run and kept.

Amazing Trip - Edwin our guide was amazing and really knowledgeable about the giraffes and also the history of the giraffe centre and the wildlife conservation in Kenya. The centre itself is amazing, feeding the giraffes is something that will live with us forever.

One of a Kind Experience - The Tour to Giraffe Center from Nairobi was amazing! It is a once in a lifetime experience to be able to interact with giraffes in their natural environment. It was also educational as there is an information session and information that you can read yourself to learn more about giraffes. It is a short excursion but very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this excursion for every and anyone.

- I got the ticket thought this web services. The outside vendor (3rd party) never replay to me about Hotel arrangements for pick up, with here say the is include in the services. We did change Hotel locations due the social demonstrations in Nairobi ( July, 2025) and I send emails and text messages to the 3rd party multiple times, but never get the reply. So, I hired an other driver services. A person, show up at the door of the Giraffe Center with the 09 tickets for let us go in, but the transportation services was not provide the all. The person told me - sorry for the miss communications, but truly never replay my emails or phone on time in June and even a week before. Overall the giraffe center is a nice place to lunch a the trip in Kenya, specially with the time zone change, is easy, cute and fun! My first two visits where on 2014 and 2023; and this place always improved and grow in positive ways! I witness a baby Giraffe this year! Works well visit at 9 am before everyone show up. Also, next door is a nice hike loop to stretch your legs, ask to the ranger at the entrance.

Long drive and short visit - Long drive and a short stay at the Giraffe Center. It took almost an hour yo get there, spent about 25 - 30 minutes with the guide and then an hour and a half back. Very little info given. Not worth the $
