The Arusha Giraffe Center, located just outside Arusha, Tanzania, is a dedicated sanctuary for the conservation of the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe, one of the rarest giraffe species in the world. This interactive center provides visitors with a unique opportunity to get up close to these gentle giants, hand-feed them, and observe their graceful behavior in a safe and controlled environment. Knowledgeable guides share fascinating insights about giraffe biology, feeding habits, social behavior, and the ongoing conservation efforts aimed at protecting these majestic animals from habitat loss and other threats.

In addition to feeding and interacting with the giraffes, visitors can explore the scenic grounds of the center, which offer breathtaking views of the surrounding African savanna and opportunities for photography with these towering creatures. The experience is educational, hands-on, and suitable for all ages, making it a perfect family-friendly activity or wildlife adventure for travelers of any background.



For a more immersive day, this tour can be combined with a visit to Meserani Snake Park, allowing guests to experience a full spectrum of wildlife—from towering giraffes to fascinating reptiles—and gain insight into Tanzania’s rich biodiversity and local culture. Together, the two sites create a memorable day of exploration, learning, and up-close encounters with some of the country’s most remarkable wildlife.
