The Giraffe Centre was originally formed in 1979 to help save one of the most endangered of the giraffe subspecies, the Rothschild Giraffe. Due to severe loss of habitat, farming, and war, the Rothschild Giraffe, found mainly in Eastern Africa, was pushed to the very brink of extinction. The Giraffe Centre set up a captive breeding program, which has succeeded greatly. There are now approximately 45 giraffes living in the wild in Nakuru National Park, and more have been released in 3 other National Reserves and Parks. The Centre also educates Kenyan children and youth on their country’s wildlife and environment. You will be given the rare opportunity to hand-feed a giraffe and may even steal a kiss. Not to worry, though, Giraffe saliva is very antiseptic.
The Giraffe Centre was started as a breeding and Educational conservation Centre 1979 for the then endangered Rothschild Giraffe which was at the point of extinction due to their misused by Idd Amin of Uganda during the power tussle in Uganda as they could be used as targets by the army training.
