Giraffe Centre, Giraffe conservation center in Karen, Kenya.
The Giraffe Centre features elevated wooden platforms that allow visitors to feed and observe Rothschild giraffes at eye level during their daily activities.
The center started operations in 1983 as a response to the decreasing population of Rothschild giraffes in Kenya due to habitat reduction.
Local school groups regularly visit the center to participate in educational programs about wildlife conservation and learn about Kenya's natural heritage.
The facility maintains daily operations from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with entrance fees supporting ongoing conservation efforts and giraffe protection programs.
Visitors can hand-feed giraffes from a raised platform, offering an opportunity to observe the distinct patterns on each animal's coat from close range.
