Endangered Rothschild giraffe, indigenous forest trails, rich birdlife
Giraffe Centre
The Giraffe Centre was created in 1979 by American Betty Melville in response to the plight of last remaining Rothschild giraffe in the wild, threatened by loss of habitat to agriculture in Western Kenya.
Funds were raised to move 4 herds to Lake Nakuru National Park, Mwea Game Reserve, Ruma National Park and Nasalot Game Reserve.
Two young giraffes were brought to the Giraffe Centre on land which was purchased outside Nairobi. Young giraffes born at the Centre have been translocated to the Rift Valley. Numbers of Rothschild giraffe have more than doubled to 300.
The indigenous forest of the sanctuary is a remnant of the natural forest that once surrounded Nairobi, originally including the current Ngong forest and Ololua forest.
