Giraffe Center

The endangered rothschild giraffe breeding program started with the inception of the Giraffe Centre back then in 1979. The giraffes breed naturally in an approximate 120 Acer of land and the young calves born at the center are introduced back into the wild at the age of 2years. The giraffes at the center are closely observed and monitored by AFEW staff and when need be their natural diet is supplemented with Lucern Grass, salt blocks and carrots. Ever since the breeding started, the center has handled over 50 Rothschild Giraffes and most of them have been introduced back into the wild in selected Kenya’s protected areas.
