A once in a lifetime experience

Based in Nairobi, The Sheldrick Trust opens its doors to the public to view the orphans between 11am – 12pm. The Giraffe Centre is also just around the corner, home to the endangered Rothschild’s Giraffe. The centre is open between 9am – 5pm, and gives visitors a chance to interact with the giraffes. Both the Sheldrick Trust and Giraffe centre allow visitors to get up close and personal with these incredible creatures, an absolute must for anyone passing through Nairobi.
