    "Enjoyed my visit. Got to feed the giraffes. It was a very relaxing and therapeutic visit for me."
    Nairobi
    12.7km from downtown
    Highlights: The Giraffe Center is home to endangered Rothschild giraffes, and its mission is to foster conservation awareness and provide environmental education with the goal of inspiring people to appreciate and protect the diversity of animals in Kenya. The place is very interesting and there are a lot of activities. You can observe, feed and even kiss the giraffes from the second-floor balcony of a red building. This is a very strange and extremely rare experience, especially for children or adults with childlike innocence. From the Giraffe Center, you can also cross the adjacent Gogo River (Gogo River), enter the bird sanctuary, and take a walk for a fun forest walk. Unlike the common reticulated and Masai Mara giraffes, Rothschild giraffes are an endangered species that have largely disappeared from their habitat in western Kenya. In 1979, when the African Endangered Wildlife Fund was just getting started, there were fewer than 130 Rothschild giraffes in the wild. Today, the number of this species exceeds 300, and the Giraffe Centre has successfully reintroduced these charismatic animals to Lake Nakuru National Park, Ruma National Reserve, Ruma National Park (NationalPark) and Nasalot National Reserve (Nasalot National Reserve).

There are quite a wide range of cultural and natural history exhibitions in the museum. One of the main attractions of the museum is the series of portraits of various Kenyan tribes depicted by the author of "Born Free" (BornFree) Joy Adamson, which delicately records the cultural diversity of Kenya. The upstairs exhibition hall features nearly a thousand species of birds and other taxidermy, as well as ethnographic exhibitions of various ethnic tribes in Kenya. Downstairs are Tanzania's rock art creations, an exhibition of primitive human fossils from Lake Turkana, and various geological exhibitions. The adjacent exhibition hall displays a variety of temporary exhibitions, including Kenya's Swahili Cultural Exhibition and South Asian Cultural Exhibition, and the Masai Mara Wildlife Exhibition. The museum garden is dotted with sculptures at random, and the inner courtyard has a fiberglass model the size of an elephant, imitating the elephant Ahmed. During the height of the poaching crisis in the 1980s, the replica elephant became a symbol of Kenya. The first floor of the National Museum of Kenya also houses the Contemporary East African Art Gallery, which is like an interesting cross-section of the contemporary art landscape.

    "Kenya is also a plateau country, from the hot country by plane, as if from the hot summer suddenly to autumn, the climate here is pleasant, people call it "Little London", not only the weather, many buildings are the same as the British islands of Europe. This is a beautiful country, and an economic backward country under the mad pillage of the British colonists. The lives of the Kenyan people are very difficult. The people here have no home to talk about. Seeing the situation here can be asserted, The colonists had no pity or sympathy for the Negroes. But many Negro friends did not see the problem through, had fantasies about the old capitalist countries, were prone to superficial phenomena, and were fantasised by some politicians in those capitalist countries. African people need their own efforts to live a good life, and through hardship and twists and turns, they will have a better future."
