We had a bit of time back in Arusha after safari and I'm always up for seeing the amazing Masai giraffes. Our tour guides explained how farming practices and climate can lead to severe erosion in this part of Africa. Over 17 years he and his wife have restored the land at the Giraffe Center with sustainable agricultural practices. They are working hard to educate Masai youth. The guide was always respectful of the Masai culture, but he has centuries of traditional practices to overcome. A bonus of the trip was being able to walk with giraffes! (keeping a respectable distance.) It is different being on the ground with them, rather than in a safari van. I know the price is a bit steep for this part of Africa, but some of the fee goes to bringing in Masai youth and supporting their education about the land. My friend and I thought this a very worthwhile excursion!

A wonderful back to nature farming and cattle breeding are the beautiful surroundings for the 3 giraffes that Nat and Nick are caring for. Both so deeply connected with nature…you could listen to Nick’s explanations for hours because of the deep enthusiasm and empathy he brings out. Delicious tea, coffee and cakes offered by Nat who then walked us through the farm to the giraffes sight…so close up and at the same time so naturally blended with the surrounding nature. Thank you ever so much!

We really enjoyed our trip! We loved seeing the giraffes up and close and learning very interesting facts about them. We also learned about sustainable farming. We feel like we have walked away more knowledgeable, and want to share the experience with others.

10 out of 10 experience! A walking safari with giraffes. Upon arrival we got a good cup of tea from the English owners and an interesting talk about the best way to do agriculture for the new generation of farmers in Tanzania. Arusha Giraffe Centre invites young local farmers to do farming differently, more productive and environmentally friendly. The walk was beautiful, perfect for our children and we got to see all the giraffes. One of the giraffes had the same name as my wife which was kind of funny. At the end of the walk we had a delicious handmade icecream! greets Willem & Valerie :)

Learning about how the Tanzanian land is cultivated and walking with the giraffes! What an exceptional experience! The center is informative, the welcome extremely friendly, the landscape and the view so beautiful, and the giraffes are wonderful! The Center is just on the outskirts of Arusha which makes it a perfect outing from town. Seeing these gigantic, beautiful animals from so close makes you humble. The whole experience is fantastic!

Absolutely great experience. The owner runs this place with passion. His enthusiasm in sharing his mission and knowledge is contagious. The hike to see the giraffes was very fun, despite the rain and we got real up close to the giraffes. Would recommend.

A beautiful project all around. We learned a lot about land restoration, about sustainability and got to walk in the bush with giraffes. Highly recommend it for kids and adults alike!

A Tanzanian family went out to see the giraffe, and not only came back happy to have seen these gorgeous animals, but also happy to have had the educational component and hands on learning examples in the Arusha Giraffe Center Education Center. This is what makes the Center unique- the educational component! On the home, one parent was showing examples of what they had learned in the Center. The hosts were fantastic and this is a lovely afternoon outing. The giraffe did not disappoint. Those at the AGC are quite striking- one is quite blonde and one has an adorable fuzzy red color mane. We would watch them all day!

Excellent visit to know more about the use of land in Arusha area to preserve it very simple and easy way! Nice short walk to meet giraffe and know more about this animal in danger!!!

My wife and I visited the Arusha Giraffe Center yesterday - what a great experience!! The guided tour conducted by the staff was a great learning experience on nature. During the walk on the farm we saw several animals including the fantastic Giraffes. The Giraffes have a safe environment and live with pure nature. I will regularly visit this Arusha Giraffe Center. I recommend everyone to get this experience and visit the Arusha Giraffes Center!

We visited Arusha Giraffe Centre in December 2023. First of all, the drive to the area is beautiful, with lots of lovely views. The Giraffe Centre is well sign-posted and easy to find. We loved the experience. We had a very interesting and informative talk when we arrived. Here, we gained some knowledge about the area, agriculture , and giraffe. This was eye-opening information, so we thank you. We then took a walk through a very green area to go and find the giraffes. We found the three and were able to get close enough to watch them in their natural environment. It was wonderful! We thank you for a lovely morning. We will be back. Asante sana.

What a delightful experience we had at the Arusha Giraffe Centre! We were greeted by our gracious host and given a walking tour of the property (escorted by the sweet dogs in residence) while learning about all things giraffes and the need for the conservation and protection of these beautiful animals. We viewed (from a distance so as to not disturb them) the three amazing giraffes safely living on their sanctuary land. Our group was treated to tea and snacks on the porch of the lovely home, while we continued our conversation about the conservation efforts of the giraffes by the Centre and life in Tanzania. We finished off our afternoon visit with a tour of the ongoing construction site of the Educational Center - specifically designed for education, engagement, and important discussions for adults and children alike! A once-in-a-lifetime and personal experience at the Centre was one of the highlights of our family visit to Tanzania. A great opportunity to learn as well as support the important work happening at the Centre. Not to be missed! Thank you so much for this experience!

A must if you are in the area or passing Arusha. Beautiful facility, wonderful team, incredible giraffes.

My family of 4 had a great half day at the Arusha Giraffe Centre. We walked with the giraffe which was excellent way to end our safari in Tanzania. This is a highly recommend activity. Nick and Natalie are fantastic hosts and very committed to conservation work. We learned a lot during our visit. If you have a half day to spare in Arusha, before or after a safari, the Arusha Giraffe Centre is the best way to spend it.

Nick and Natalie were wonderful hosts. This was more than I expected and opened my eyes to the problems facing this area. Tourist come through the area for safari not realizing the challenges in the area. Nick and Natalie have developed an educational forum for students on farming practices for the Masai tribe and the endangerment of the giraffes in Tanzania. We then walked in the bush to see the giraffes that were rescued. It was lovely to see them from a ground perspective. You could not get too close as they are still wild animals as it should be. Nick and Natalie have a wonderful vision that should be promoted. Knowledge is power. Thank you both for the wonderful tour and good luck with your work!
