Giraffe Centre Visit and Nature Trail Walk

• Your tour starts with pickup from your Nairobi hotel, followed by a drive to the Giraffe Centre, headquarters of the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife, made famous by "Daisy Rothschild," a giraffe calf rescued from Soi on the western Kenya border.
• Here, you will learn about giraffe behaviours and traits, along with more about conservation education. Make the most of your visit by exploring the Giraffe Centre nature trail up to the Gogo River. This is something most people do not get to see, and it is a fascinating place for a walk in nature, with bushes on either side and birds singing wondrous songs. The trail takes about 1 hour, going up and down at a relaxing pace. Entry fees to the Giraffe Centre are included.
• After the tour, you will be dropped back at your hotel in Nairobi.
