Giraffe Centre in Nairobi

Founded in 1977 to protect and breed the Rothschild giraffe indigenous to East Africa, AFEW’s (Africa Fund for Endangered Wildlife) Giraffe Centre has become one of the most important wildlife sanctuaries in Kenya, with a lot to offer to its visitors, from giraffe feeding to a nature trail with a whopping number of birds along the way—and an on-site lodge if you feel you can’t get enough.
