Description

The Giraffe Centre, located in Langata, Nairobi, Kenya, is a wildlife conservation center dedicated to the protection of the endangered Rothschild giraffe, a subspecies native to central and western Kenya. Founded in 1979 by Jock and Betty Leslie-Melville, the center aims to educate the public on giraffe conservation and provide a safe haven for these gentle creatures. The center spans over 120 acres of lush land, with a rich environment where visitors can interact with the giraffes, feed them, and learn about their behavior, ecology, and conservation efforts. At the Giraffe Centre, visitors have the unique opportunity to get up close and personal with the giraffes, standing on a raised platform that allows direct access to feed and observe them. The center also provides educational programs that focus on the conservation of giraffes and other wildlife, promoting awareness about the challenges these animals face, such as habitat loss and poaching. In addition to the giraffes, the center’s grounds are home to various bird species and offer beautiful walking trails. The Giraffe Centre also operates a breeding program, with the goal of increasing the population of Rothschild giraffes in the wild. The giraffes here are part of a successful breeding initiative, and many have been relocated to national parks and reserves across Kenya to help restore their numbers. The Giraffe Centre serves as an important sanctuary for these incredible animals, helping to ensure the survival of the Rothschild giraffe while offering a memorable and educational experience for tourists and wildlife enthusiasts alike.
