Nairobi National Park - Giraffe Centre Day Tour

Your Nairobi National Park and Giraffe centre day tour begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel. As you drive to the park, enjoy the quiet streets and watch the city slowly come to life. Arriving at the park gate just after sunrise, you will immediately feel the shift from urban to wild. Nairobi National Park is famous for being the only park that sits right next to a capital city, making it a unique safari destination.

You stand a great chance of spotting lions still active after their night hunt, as well as leopards, hyenas, and jackals. Keep your eyes open for viewing black rhinos grazing, herds of buffalo, graceful giraffes, zebras and a variety of antelopes such as impalas and elands. The park is also a birdwatcher’s paradise with over 400 recorded species.

Later, exit the park and drive to Giraffe centre where you’ll be greeted by breathtaking views of the lush sanctuary and of course, the tall, graceful giraffes waiting to meet you. Learn about the center’s remarkable work in protecting the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe, a subspecies that was once on the brink of extinction.
Climb up to the feeding platform and experience the magic of standing eye-to-eye with a giraffe Using specially provided pellets, you’ll hand-feed the giraffes as they gently take the treats with their long, prehensile tongues, a perfect moment for unforgettable photos and laughter. You may also spot warthogs and other small animals wandering freely around the compound. The on-site education center offers fascinating exhibits on giraffe conservation and Kenya’s broader wildlife protection initiatives.
