The Giraffe Center is home to endangered Rothschild giraffes, and its mission is to foster conservation awareness and provide environmental education with the goal of inspiring people to appreciate and protect the diversity of animals in Kenya. The place is very interesting and there are a lot of activities. You can observe, feed and even kiss the giraffes from the second-floor balcony of a red building. This is a very strange and extremely rare experience, especially for children or adults with childlike innocence. From the Giraffe Center, you can also cross the adjacent Gogo River (Gogo River), enter the bird sanctuary, and take a walk for a fun forest walk. Unlike the common reticulated and Masai Mara giraffes, Rothschild giraffes are an endangered species that have largely disappeared from their habitat in western Kenya. In 1979, when the African Endangered Wildlife Fund was just getting started, there were fewer than 130 Rothschild giraffes in the wild. Today, the number of this species exceeds 300, and the Giraffe Centre has successfully reintroduced these charismatic animals to Lake Nakuru National Park, Ruma National Reserve, Ruma National Park (NationalPark) and Nasalot National Reserve (Nasalot National Reserve).
