The African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (AFEW) Giraffe Centre is located in Langata, just outside Nairobi.
The center was started as a breeding center for the endangered Rothschild giraffe, but now operates conservation education programs for Kenyan school children.
Experience the feeding platform where visitors meet the resident giraffes face to face and get to feed them.
Hand feeding giraffes is an education in itself. You will see, close at hand, how they use their long, prehensile tongues to remove leaves from prickly acacia branches.
The AFEW centre is also home to Giraffe Manor, a beautifully maintained colonial home, now an exclusive guesthouse.
The center’s giraffe population wander freely through the lush gardens, and pay an occasional visit to the house itself, often pushing their heads through the French Windows to inspect the breakfast table.
