Kenya is a land of many wonders ranging from the snow caped Mount Kenya, sandy coastal beaches, scenic rift valley to the sandy dunes on northern frontier. Giraffe centre is a sanctuary set and run by the Africa Fund Endangered Wildlife (A.F.E.W). It sits on an estimated 140 acres of land in the plush Karen suburbs within Nairobi city.
Betty and Jock Leslie run the rescue centre of endangered giraffes, which were threatened with extinction due to human encroachment. They started the sanctuary in 1975. giraffes love visitors and greatly appreciate eating from their palm. They feeds on pellets which are prepared for them. The giraffes have a gestation of sixteen months.
Wednesdays are the special days to visit the centre for the people are able to learn more about them, different species of birds found in the nature trails and the surrounding environment. I enjoyed the giant from the African jungles the elephants walking style and the meditative looks on it face as its chews its food.
