Room for discovery

What can you explore?

• Feed giraffes corn, wheat, grass and molasses pellets in the Browsing Area and from the feeding platform, with educators on hand for guidance.

Suggested interest ages

Suggested interests: ages 3–17

Editorial age guidance

Editorial planning suggestion, not an admission rule: ages 3–17 are a practical target range because the centre sets child admission rates for ages 3–12 and offers close wildlife encounters, a short educational lecture and a nature trail that may interest school-age children and teens. Younger children and babies may also visit with adults; the provider states children under 3 enter free. No whole-venue minimum or maximum age is stated.

Visitor planning notes

The official FAQ states daily opening hours of 9:00 AM–5:00 PM and recommends a 1.5–2 hour visit. It lists payments by M-Pesa, Visa or Mastercard; child rates are ages 3–12 and under-3 admission is free. The sanctuary page describes the nature trail as 1.5 kilometres. No stroller, step-free route, or weather policy was verified; ask the provider about these before visiting. Check the official site for current rates and notices.
