The African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (AFEW) is a non-profit dedicated to the breeding and preservation of the threatened Rothschild giraffe; it is situated just outside Nairobi National Park. It presents the Giraffe Center experience, which is the main tourist attraction. Here, you will learn about these amazing animals by visiting on a guided tour or self-guided walk; you can even hand-feed them from a raised platform!
You can expect to learn about giraffes, observe them from a viewing platform, and even feed them a special pellet treat. You may also see other animals and explore the nature sanctuary.
For a fulfilling experience, we recommend you plan for a 1.5 to two hour visit. This gives you enough time to feed and interact with the giraffes, attend an informative lecture on the giraffe and other wildlife, take a walk in our serene Nature Conservancy and even have a snack at our Tea House.
Absolutely! Children will love getting up close to the giraffes and learning about their conservation.
The centre is open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM every day including weekends and all public holidays.
90 percent of funds collected from the entrance fees and sales in our gift shop and Tea House go towards conservation work. By visiting and/or making a purchase from the souvenir shop and the Teahouse, you contribute towards educating school children and teachers across Kenya. We encourage you to consider a tip for your guide. All our guides are Environmental Studies students who volunteer as Educators. If you wish to give towards a school trip or any other efforts, their Donation Page will give you more information.
The entrance fee for the Giraffe Centre directly supports AFEW's work. You can also make a donation or purchase souvenirs from the gift shop.
Sure you can. Ask for any of these at the gift shop and an attendant will assist you.
