Brilliant experience
We had a really nice tour! Evans was a great guide: knowledgeable, and friendly. He sensed well what the need was (as we have done safaris before and then you don't have to stop for every zebra). Beforehand, we did not expect so much from the park, since it is so close to the capital. But we found it incredibly beautiful at the giraffe centre and the dinner crowned it all

The Giraffe Centre in Nairobi offers a fun and educational experience where visitors can feed and interact closely with
The Giraffe Centre is a must-visit for animal lovers and anyone interested in wildlife conservation. Located just a short drive from Nairobi's city center, the centre offers a unique and up-close experience with the endangered Rothschild giraffes. The highlight is definitely the feeding platform, where visitors can hand-feed the giraffes and even receive a gentle "kiss" from one if you're brave enough. It's both fun and educational — the staff are knowledgeable and share insightful facts about giraffe behavior and conservation efforts.
Response from the operator: thank you for your wonderful review. We are happy to understand that you had a wonderful day with our guide. he is also happy to hear that you enjoyed his guiding. Welcome once more for more safaris with us.

A fun and educational spot in Nairobi where you can feed and interact with endangered Rothschild’s
Visiting the Giraffe Centre was such a fun and educational experience! Located in Lang'ata, just outside Nairobi, the center offers a unique chance to get up close with the endangered Rothschild’s giraffes. You can feed them from a raised platform, and if you're brave enough, even get a "giraffe kiss" (when they take pellets from your mouth)! The guides are friendly and knowledgeable, sharing lots of interesting facts about giraffes and conservation efforts in Kenya. There’s also a nature trail that makes the visit even more enjoyable, especially for those who love a peaceful walk in nature.

Why this scores 70

Giraffe Center Nairobi National Park with Carnivore Restaurant: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Giraffe Center Nairobi National Park with Carnivore Restaurant cost?
+
Prices start at $143 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Giraffe Center Nairobi National Park with Carnivore Restaurant take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nairobi is not rushed.
Is Giraffe Center Nairobi National Park with Carnivore Restaurant worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Giraffe Center Nairobi National Park with Carnivore Restaurant?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Giraffe Center Nairobi National Park with Carnivore Restaurant suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Giraffe Center Nairobi National Park with Carnivore Restaurant?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nairobi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Giraffe Center Nairobi National Park with Carnivore Restaurant start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nairobi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nairobi?
+
On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Wild 5-Day Safari: Magical Mara, Nakuru Wonders & Hell's Gate, 2 Days Amboseli Safari using a 4x4 Landcruiser jeep(with options), Kibera Slum Tour with Lucas. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nairobi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nairobi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
