A visit to the Giraffe Centre is the perfect activity to do when stopping over in Nairobi for a day or two before heading off on a Kenya safari. The Giraffe Centre offers visitors the opportunity to get up close andpersonal with these friendly giants. The Giraffe Centre is open daily from 09:00 am to 5:00 pm including weekends and public holidays. There is an elevated feeding platform that allows you to hand feed the giraffes, which can be an education in itself. You can see, close at hand, how the giraffe uses its long prehensile tongue to strip leaves from the acacia branches. There is a teahouse and curio shop there; also a 2 Km nature trail to walk through. Feeding the giraffes is the most exciting part!
