Set in 15 acres of indigenous forest the Langata Giraffe Centre is located about 20km out of the city centre. The centre is for Endangered Wildlife and it houses a number of Rothschild’s giraffes.

There is information about them on display and it is designed to be interesting to children. You can watch and feed them from a raised wooden structure.

The centre is also an excellent spot for bird watching. This was in a bid to save the endangered Rothschild Giraffe, which had lost its natural habitat in Western Kenya to agriculture. Indigenous Forest The indigenous forest is a remnant of the natural forest that once surrounded Nairobi. It comprises of over 100 acres of dry upland forest that is part of the larger ecosystem that originally comprised of the current Ngong Forest and Ololua Forest hence all these have similar vegetation species.
