At the Giraffe Centre, on the edge of Nairobi National Park, visitors can come face to face with endangered Rothschild giraffes. This non-profit center lies on the grounds of the plush guesthouse, and giraffe manor and its main mission is to provide conservation education for children. The visitor center displays information about these graceful creatures, and a raised platform allows you to feed them at eye level with specially prepared pellets.
This is one of the most unusual things to do around Nairobi, especially with children – photo ops with wet, gray giraffe tongues and slurping little faces are priceless.
After communing with these long-lashed beauties, you can enjoy a 1.5-kilometer self-guided forest walk in the adjacent nature reserve.
