Giraffe Centre
The tour starts by picking you from your Hotel/Home within Nairobi. You will be driven to Giraffe centre where you feed Rothschild giraffes under the supervision of keepers. The center has rescued, hand-reared and released around 500 orphaned giraffes back into the wild since opening in 1979. This attraction offers opportunities to feed the endangered Rothschild's giraffe by hand. The location also offers a fine education on the physiology, behaviors and habitat preferences of these beautiful animals.
Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
You will then be driven to David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to walk through the center from 11am - 12pm in an open space, with a rope fence around it. The youngest elephants come trotting out of the bush to greet their keepers who stand at the ready with giant bottles of milk. For the next 10-15 minutes you can watch each little one slurp and gargle their milk. Then, you'll have time to watch the elephants play. You find out how old they were when they arrived at the orphanage, where they were rescued from, and what got them into trouble. The most common reasons for getting orphaned being: mother's poached, falling into wells, and human/wildlife conflict. Once the youngest are all fed, they are led back into the bush, and it's the turn of the 2-3 year olds. Some of them can feed themselves, and some are still fed by their keepers. Watch them interact with their keepers, munch on some branches of their favorite acacias, and play with the half drums of water and mud

Feeding Giraffes

5.00Feeding the giraffes was so awesome! And after following Sheldrick Wildlife on social media for years, it was so amazing to visit in person and see the orphaned elephants. It was a great day and I would do it again!
Unnecessary Park Fees

1.00Peter was great my issue is that these two items (Elephant Orphanage and Giraffe Center should never be combined because the Elephant Orphanage is now located inside the Nairobi Safari Park and they want to charge you the park fees at $85 USD per person to get into the park just to go to the Elephant Orphanage in addition to the Elephant Orphanage entrance fee, You should try and do the Elephant Orphanage and NAirobi Park together as you would save having to pay the Park fees twice. It appears about 1 year ago because the park needed additional money and the majority of people were not doing the Nairobi Park Safari and only going to the Elephant Orphanage they made the change. So once again only book the Elephant Orphanage with the Nairobi Park Safari and book the Giraffe Center as just seperate tour not combine with anything. Other wise you are going to pay the Nairobi Park fees twice. I will say the Nairobi Park is the place where we saw the White and Black Rhinos as we did not see any Rhinos down in Masai Mara
We could watch baby elephants all day.

5.00Stephen was a wonderful guide and made the day feel easy and enjoyable. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly loves what he does. Everything was well organized and unhurried, and he made sure we were comfortable the entire time. He shared great insights that really added to the experience at both the Elephant Orphanage and the Giraffe Centre. We’re so glad we had him and would happily recommend Stephen to anyone.
Wonderful tour in small group setting seeing the elephants and giraffes

5.00Had the best New Years Day on this tour! Our guide John was prompt, a good communicator, helpful and with a great sense of humour. Our first stop was the Giraffe Centre which was really quiet and peaceful and we had ample time to interact and feed the gorgeous giraffes. The animals are so well cared for and we enjoyed learning more about the Rothschild giraffes and the conservation efforts. Next stop was the Elephant Orphanage. What incredible work the Kenyans do in nurturing these sweet orphaned elephants, zebra and a baby rhino. The connection between the carers and the baby elephants in particular was heart warming. It was not crowded and we had the opportunity to get up close and personal with these special animals and to learn all about the work of Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Our last stop was the Kobe Tough Bead and Leather Centre. This was a wonderful opportunity to see how the Masaai women are being empowered to make a living by creating and selling their artwork and jewellery. A very worthwhile addition to the tour. We purchased beautiful jewellery from their store to take home. I highly recommended this tour for anyone with a day in Nairobi.

Unexpected Fees, No Refund
Victoria A,,21 thg 1, 2026

1.00We paid 95/person for this tour. I chose it after searching for a tour with fees included. After going in person I learned that the giraffe center is free and the elephant orphanage only costs twenty dollars. I didn’t know that there was an additional eighty dollar fee to enter the national park where the elephant center is located. We opted not to go to the elephant center and asked for the elephant center fee to be refunded and we didn’t get refunded. This is a grossly overpriced tour. Don’t do it.
A Most Informative Hour!🐘

5.00We extended the trip and also did a 3 hour safari in the Nairobi National Park after visiting the Sheldrick trust. Communication from start to finish was good and Peter, our tour guide was great! He contacted us on WhatsApp and was early at our hotel. He was super friendly and had a smile on him. He also gave us plenty of time at all stops to see everything and explained things well! So 10/10 for Peter! 🙏🏼
