Nairobi: Giraffe Centre Feeding and Kibera Slum Walking Tour with Hotel Pickup

Your Experience

Visit the Giraffes Centre and Kibera slum on a guided day tour with hotel pickup, giraffe feeding, and local community visits.

This is a guided full-day tour combining the Giraffes Centre and Kibera slum.

Getting started

Get picked up from your hotel in Nairobi and meet your professional English-speaking guide. After a brief introduction to the day’s plan, you set off by vehicle toward your first stop. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, so there is no need to arrange your own transport between the Giraffes Centre and Kibera slum.

What to expect

Giraffes Centre

Begin at the Giraffes Centre, known for its conservation work with the Rothschild's giraffe, an endangered species. This is where you get close to these animals before heading into the city to explore daily life in Nairobi's largest informal settlement.

Features

• Giraffes Centre entry and giraffe feeding are included, so you can step onto the viewing platforms and offer food directly to the Rothschild's giraffe under staff guidance. This close contact helps you see their size, markings, and behavior from just a few steps away.
• Learn about the Rothschild's giraffe from your expert English-speaking guide, who explains why the species is endangered and how the Giraffes Centre contributes to its protection. You have time to observe how the giraffes interact with visitors and each other.
• All guiding fees and government fees and taxes for this visit are covered in your ticket, so you can focus on the giraffe feeding experience without managing payments on the day.

Kibera slum

After the Giraffes Centre, travel to Kibera, Africa’s largest slum, for a guided walking tour. Here you experience the unseen side of Nairobi and hear directly from local guides about day-to-day life for Kenyan slum dwellers.

Features

• Join a Kibera slum guided walking tour that is included in your experience, giving you structured access to the neighborhood with someone who knows the area and its residents. Your guide shares stories that illustrate both challenges and community resilience.
• Visit a slum children's home and a local family house, as specified in your inclusion for a slum children home and family house visit. These stops help you understand how families live, study, and organize support networks within Kibera.
• The visit to a slum children's home and local family house is led by your professional English-speaking guide, who helps translate conversations when needed and explains cultural context. Admission to Kibera slum and all guiding fees and allowances are already included.

Wrapping up

Your guided day tour ends back at your hotel with included drop-off, so after leaving Kibera you can relax on the return drive without arranging additional transport.
