Centre des Girafes

Located in Karen, the Giraffe Centre is special because you stand on a raised platform to get up to eye level with the endangered Rothschild’s giraffes and feed them grass pellets. The giraffes’ long, slimy tongues make the kids squeal! The whole centre includes a large reserve for the giraffes, and an education centre to learn about the species. Karen is also full of lovely restaurants, so once you’ve seen the giraffes you can pop off for lunch. Try the Purdy Arms, a garden restaurant with a huge grassy lawn, and activities for kids. You can also stay at the historic Giraffe Manor next door to the Giraffe Centre.
