Giraffe Center Day Tour Overview
Description
The Giraffe Rothschild Centre day tour is a brief day excursion from Nairobi to Giraffe Centre & Giraffe Manor. The Centre in Nairobi is the sole attraction where you can make a day trip to the only sanctuary for endangered Rothschild giraffes, a fantastic wildlife experience worthy of checking off your To-Do-List Initially, the program was a rehabilitation project to rescue the Rothschild Giraffe, an endangered species threatened by poaching, disease, human-wildlife conflict, and habitat loss. Some of the features that distinguish the Rothschild’s giraffe from other giraffes are a pale coat with orange-brown patches that are less jagged than the Masai giraffe, lack of patterns on its lower legs, giving it the appearance of wearing white-grey stockings; the presence of five horns (called ossicones) on its head, instead of the usual two or four. One is in the center of its forehead, and two are behind each ear.
