Nairobi Giraffe Centre and Elephant Sanctuary Tour

Giraffe Centre - Visit the Giraffe Centre located in Langata, where the endangered Rothschild giraffes are being raised. You will have the opportunity to hand-feed these gentle creatures, as well as get fantastic close-up shots. Feeding the giraffes is facilitated by a well-built, raised platform from where visitors can feed these tall animals with ease.
Daphne Sheldrick's Elephant Sanctuary - The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, a small, flexible charity established in the name of the founder Warden of Tsavo East National Park, pioneered the hand-rearing and complicated strategy of successful rehabilitation of black rhino calves into established wild rhino communities.
