{"product_id":"kenya-kajiado-giraffe-centre","title":"Giraffe Centre","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou visit the Giraffe Centre to stand at eye level with Rothschild giraffes on a raised wooden platform, feeding them pellets by hand. The centre was established to protect this endangered subspecies, which had lost much of its habitat in western Kenya. Today it combines conservation with education, running programs for Kenyan schoolchildren about wildlife and the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe giraffes will take pellets from your fingers with their long, rough tongues. Staff guide you on how to feed them safely — one pellet at a time, held between thumb and forefinger. The raised platform puts you at the animals' head height, close enough to see their eyelashes and the patterns in their fur.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond feeding the giraffes, you can walk through the adjacent nature trail in a patch of indigenous forest. Bird species nest here, and small antelope like dik-diks move through the undergrowth. The centre produces educational materials about conservation for schools, and most entry fees fund these programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolunteer educators lead tours, explaining the centre's work with giraffes and local communities. The giraffes you feed may eventually be released into protected areas across Kenya.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kenya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51932146761948,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/8256\/8156\/files\/giraffe-centre-nature-preserve-duma-rd-nairobi-kenya-01.webp?v=1783185532","url":"https:\/\/murmurgo.com\/products\/kenya-kajiado-giraffe-centre","provider":"Murmurgo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
