Several times we have been asked what we do with the money you pay as entry to Giraffe Centre. Well, one of them is allowing school groups to visit the Giraffe Centre free of charge. While at the Giraffe Centre, they get to learn about the environment and its importance. To make sure the students grasp the concepts, we have the lessons customized depending on where the school is coming from.

To achieve this goal without interfering with the guests as they enjoy their day with us, we have come up with a procedure on how to bring the school groups to our premises.

Kindly adhere to this to ensure that we serve you best.

Feeding a giraffe can be a daunting thing… What do you do? What will the giraffe do? But, it is also an exciting experience! What a graceful and beautiful animal…and you have an opportunity to get up close and personal with it. For some, it gets pretty close, personal and intimate (#IKissedAGiraffe).

Whether you’d like to keep it purely professional or get cosy, here are some recommendations on how to feed the giraffe.

Feed the giraffe one pellet at a time on its tongue, using your thumb and index finger to hold the pellet.
Do not feed the giraffe with an open hand and do not stretch out your palm with pellets on it.
Do not tease the giraffe, feed it when you have the pellets in your hands.
Do not approach the giraffes without the pellets as they tend to headbutt.
Do not feed the giraffe on any other thing other than the pellets or foliage provided by our Education Officers or Guides.
Do not make any loud noises or sudden movements while feeding the giraffes.
Kindly note that the Giraffe Centre is a No Smoking Zone.
Kindly allow our guides to assist you whenever in doubt.
