Giraffe Center was fun but crowded. I wish they limited the number of people on the platform so you could interact & feed the giraffes without fighting everyone. Loved Karen Blixen's home. Memories of the movie Out of Africa.

Ich rate Ihnen den Besuch auf keinen Fall am Wochenende oder einem Feiertag zu machen. Da könnte es sein dass 60 bis 80 Besucher das Gleiche vorhaben. Am besten ist es, an einem Wochentag, und das am Vormittag. Das erste Mal hatten wir Glück, es waren höchstens 20 Leute/Besucher auf dem Gesamtgelände. Die Terrasse ist nicht sehr breit, ca. 1,5 Meter, somit ist es schön, wenn wenig los ist. Man kommt so nah an die Tiere, wie nirgends sonst. Selbst ein Kuss ist erlaubt, wenn man denn sich traut ;)

We thoroughly enjoyed both the Giraffe Centre and Karen Blixen Museum Tour while in Nairobi. In addition to seeing these attractions, it also gave us the opportunity to something of the beautiful suburbs of Nairobi. The Viator provided guide/driver was very professional and the van clean and well maintained. It was fun to try to feed the giraffes at the Giraffe Centre, but be prepared for giraffe saliva on your clothes.
The guide at the Giraffe Centre was a bit assertive with regard to suggesting that we tip him just as we started the tour. We took the afternoon tour so we could do the elephant orphanage tour in the morning which we arranged separately with a taxi driver. This worked well for us, but be prepared for sitting in some traffic....just like rush hour in the USA.
