Park and Giraffe Centre in one day
Do the national park in the cool morning, when the wild herds are active, then feed the Rothschild's giraffes from the Centre's raised platform in the afternoon. Our weekday park, Sheldrick and Giraffe Centre tour does exactly that, with hotel pickup, from $75 or KSh 6,000 per person. A private full day at $380 per group gives you the same stops on your own schedule.
Two different giraffes
The giraffes on the plains of Nairobi National Park are wild Maasai giraffes, often seen with the city skyline behind them. The Giraffe Centre breeds Rothschild's giraffes for conservation. Seeing both in one day is one of Nairobi's best experiences. Read more on giraffes in the park.
