Giraffe Centre Experience
As you guys know travelling is not something that is recommended right now so I am not really doing any travelling at the moment but I do miss it a lot. I also really miss sharing my experiences with you guys and showing you pictures of everything I saw. I feel like blogging has really helped me get out of my comfort zone and explore more which I love. I was going through my phone and I realised there were so many travel experiences/experiences in general that I had last year that I hadn’t been able to share on my blog so I decided to start sharing some of them to kind of remind myself of how fun travel is even I can’t travel any time soon.
In this post I decided to share my experience at Giraffe Centre in Nairobi, Kenya. We had such an amazing time there and as always the giraffe’s were just so cute. We also had a lot of fun just being outside and hanging out as well as you can tell by MistryLand and I cracking up in one of the pictures and me doing something I don’t do a lot- actually smiling like for real in the pictures lol!
Have you guys ever been to Giraffe Centre? Have you ever fed a giraffe? Would you like to see more travel/experience posts from my older travels/experiences? Let me know in the comments below I would love to hear your thought!

I have never been to giraffe center. But when I was a little boy my parents would spoil me and drive from Vancouver Canada to Seattle in the USA so I could go to the zoo and feed the giraffes. They spoiled me obviously as it was a 3 Hour Drive each way. There was also a giraffe in a wild game reserve in the Okanogan when I moved here as an adult . I still remember feeding it and it had the wildest long purple blue tongue and it didnβt gross me up although it was a little bit sticky. I was never afraid of giraffes and that they were very gentle.
PoojaG
Oh wow that’s so nice of your parents to do and it must have been such an amazing treat for you as well! Yes they do have those sticky tongues but I don’t find them gross either- I think they’re quite cute. This one is about one and a half hours away from where I live back home so it’s not too far.

Are you really a cat?
PoojaG
Yes. I guess it’s time to let the cat out of the bag about my true identity π
dumbestblogger
Somehow this actually makes sense. Haha.

It looks so cool! Kinda reminds me of the African Lions Safari in Ontario but I think they discontinued it a few years ago. Sometimes I go to the zoo here in Calgary just to see the giraffes! Too bad we canβt feed them – that would be fun.π¦π¦π¦
PoojaG
Yes it would be so cool if they start allowing you to feed them- it’s such a fun experience!

My favorite animal! β€οΈ

Giraffes are the best!!

I have never traveled before but this pandemic made me realize just how unpredictable and short life is. Your experience looks like so much fun!!
PoojaG
Thank you! I want to travel a lot more after the pandemic too because it made me realise how precious these memories are.

Thank you!

Oh wow! I love giraffes SO much! My most memorable experience of seeing giraffes was at a zoo and there was a baby a day old that still had the umbilical cord!
PoojaG
Wow that sounds like such an amazing experience!
winteroseca
It was! I will never forget it as long as I live!

I would love to go see giraffes! I first saw this on the Ellen Show. What an awesome experience! I love giraffes π¦ I even have a 4 foot stuffed animal giraffe π at home.
PoojaG
It’s definitely an awesome experience! I love giraffes too!!
Nath
This is such an amazing experience! I have only seen giraffes from afar once, and it’s so cool to see them looking so calm, walking around like they’re having the moment of their life. π Sadly, I wasn’t able to feed them. Btw, I would love to read more of your past travels.
PoojaG
Thank you! Yes they’re definitely fun to watch as well. Maybe you’ll be able to feed them someday!
Nath
You’re welcome, Pooja! Yes! I hope to try it soon! π
oliveunicorn
I want to visit ! I love giraffes π¦πThe closest I came to one was feeding them at the zoo. This place looks like you can get really close π
PoojaG
Yeah you can touch them and everything which is so fun!
Princess
Aah!! Thank you so much for sharing this Pooja! I have never seen a walking, talking, breathing giraffe ever! On a side note, you are sooo pretty!! π₯°
PoojaG
Aww thank you so much ππ It’s a really amazing experience- I would totally recommend seeing some giraffes if you’re able to!
Princess
I think I would need to step out of the country for that. I hope I can in the near future! Wishing for nCovid to clear out already π₯Ί Stay safe! β€οΈ
PoojaG
Same here- I want to start travelling again! Stay safe as well π

Travelling is definitely a lot of fun!

Oh, my goodness, Pooja, thank you for sharing these giraffe pics! I have never fed a giraffe, but I saw a mama and a baby giraffe once while on safari. It was a breathtaking experience. Your pictures took me back to that moment.
PoojaG
Thank you! Wow I love baby giraffes it’s awesome that you were able to see that!

I live in Nairobi but I have never visited most of these parks and animal enclosures. Shame on me!! Time to start. Never too late. Thanks for sharing! Lots of love!
PoojaG
Yes there are so many amazing things to see in Nairobi!! Thank you π
beyondthought1
I wonder how many are open…
PoojaG
I don’t know if any are open at the moment and even they are I’m not sure how safe it is to go places right now. I guess you can add it to your travel bucket list and go whenever you’re able to!
Kui
I was born and have lived in Nairobi all my life and I have been to the Giraffe Centre only once. What a shame! Thanks for reigniting the ‘local tourism’ fire in me and us lol, I see from the comments I’m not alone. Once it’s back open I’m going to pay a visit asap!
PoojaG
Thank you and yes I would definitely recommend going there when it’s open again! I think we sometimes don’t think of local travels as travel but it really is and you can end up having a lot of fun.
justcalmwildness
I have never been to the Giraffe Centre but I should definitely go there soon.
PoojaG
You should it’s such a fun place to visit!
πΉππ©π°π΅ π
Giraffes or owls?
PoojaG
Can I say both??
πΉππ©π°π΅ π
LOL. Nope! π€¦ββοΈ
Imagine a giraffe with a pet owl on its shoulder π, and a little Misty running around between its legs. πππ
PoojaG
Aww I kind of want to see that now! As long as Misty does not try to eat anyone or herself… π
πΉππ©π°π΅ π
π€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€£π€£π€£
She’d bark at the owl on top of the giraffe, which will spook the giraffe and create a giraffe stampede!
PoojaG
ππππ
πΉππ©π°π΅ π
The owl will float down, then start running along the ground whilst Misty chases it⦠it would be desperately cute but also terrifying at the same time!
PoojaG
I’m pretty sure the owl would try to carry Misty away at some point π
πΉππ©π°π΅ π
Hahaha! And probably succeed π
tianiangelahibbert
Okay I love your sweater!!! Awesome shots and youβre literally beautiful π Iβve seen a few giraffes in my day at a few zoos! I am always amazed by them π₯°
PoojaG
Haha thank you- I got it on sale at Romwe last year! They really are amazing creatures!
inkgirlandwords
Oh how cute! My heart <3
PoojaG
They were so adorable!!
inkgirlandwords
Animals always are!
PoojaG
They are! Also I tried to comment on your blog but I think I’m getting stuck in your spam.
inkgirlandwords
Oh no! I’ll check that out!
inkgirlandwords
Tried to check it out, can’t seem to find out how to fix it. I will keep trying though.
PoojaG
It’s a problem that WP has a lot- a lot of the comments I get are stuck in spam for some reason as well. I think it’s something they need to fix on their end.
inkgirlandwords
Yeah true!
inkgirlandwords
Yup found it haha! XD
blondeyonamission
Wow I loved this post!! I’ve been to a giraffe centre before and fed one (also got chased by a few while horse-riding …) but I just think they are such beautiful creatures. Thanks for sharing πβ€οΈ

I know they are so majestic and peaceful (most of the time)

I love travel stories…keep them coming. Since we’re all stuck in one place now, stories are the only way we can go anywhere.
PoojaG
Thank you! I so agree- it’s a good way to travel without actually travelling.
richardsleftbank
Amazing creatures and nice to see one that’s not confined in the small spaces that most zoos afford.
PoojaG
Yeah these ones are free which is one thing I love.
Rez Scribblez
Hey, would love to see more travel posts from you. And that last pic seems as if the Giraffe was trying to pose for the click, Cute π. Loved your pics with your friend!ππ

That looks like an amazing trip. Iβve never fed a giraffe, but would love to. What a wonderful experience! Thanks for sharing your pictures.
PoojaG
It was truly amazing and thank you!!
judeitakali
Ooh that’s really neat, I’ve seen them before at Queen Elizabeth national park in Uganda. Nat-geo does an incredible job but nothing beats seeing these animals in person. My favs away from the big cats are the buffalo and gorrilas. They are enormous compared to what you may think from seeing them on TV. Partly because it’s rare to see them in perspective with human beings on TV, because they are so dangerous.
Everything is bigger tho.
I’ve been to the Serengeti np a few times too.
judeitakali
Sorry I went on a rant in your comments section, that’s what happens when you wake up and see one of your favourite things from one of your favourite bloggers.
Beautiful post and pictures
PoojaG
Aww haha feel free to leave long comments I always enjoy talking to you!
PoojaG
I’ve seen gorilla’s but never buffalo’s- I definitely want to see those some day! I agree seeing animals in person just hits different and it’s always such an amazing experience to be around wildlife.

I have feed a giraffe before and I want to see more travel posts!
PoojaG
More coming soon!

Giraffes are such wonderfully unique animals. I’ve only ever seen them in the zoo here in Wellington, but it looks amazing at a giraffe centre. π

It really is an amazing experience and yes they are definitely wonderful creatures!

You are so lucky! I can’t wait to experience this for myself one day. Giraffes are my favourite animals.
PoojaG
They are amazing I really hope you have this experience at some point!
Felix M. Muteti
I’ve been there but it’s so long ago. Funny thing is I can’t remember if the girrafes we’re shy or I chickened out to feed them π
PoojaG
Hahaha maybe a bit of both π
Elle
They’re so biiig!! ππ I haven’t seen one before and I hope to see one in the future. π

Have never been to a giraffe center as such though I have seen giraffes at a safari park in the past. Would love to be able to feed one!
PoojaG
Ooh that sounds fun too! Feeding one is so much fun you should definitely do it if you ever get the chance!
victoriarose002
I bet it is, and hopefully I will get the chance π
PoojaG
Fingers crossed!
