The Giraffe Centre in Nairobi is a unique wildlife attraction focused on the conservation of the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe, offering visitors a chance to interact with, feed, and learn about these gentle giants from an elevated platform[1][3].
Entrance fees (as of 2025):
- Non-resident adults: KES 1,500 (approx. $12 USD)[1][3][5]
- Non-resident children (3–12 years): KES 750 (approx. $6 USD)[1][3]
- Kenyan residents and East African Community citizens (with valid ID or work permit): KES 400 for adults and KES 200 for children[1][4]
- Children under 3 years: Free entry[1][3]
To clarify, “resident” rates apply to Kenyan citizens and residents of East African Community countries (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, DRC, South Sudan)—proof of residency is required for the discounted rate[4]. Online ticket purchase is available, but only for those with a Kenyan mobile phone number and M-Pesa; foreign visitors should be prepared to pay onsite by card, as cash is not accepted[2][5].
The Giraffe Centre is open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM[1][2]. Your entry fee includes access to the feeding platform, educational exhibits, and nature trails[1]. The best times to visit are early morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds[2][3].
