Tips for staying near Giraffe Centre

  • The closest hotels, Hope Gardens Guest House and La Belle Villa, are within a 10-minute walk of the centre, so book one of these early if you want to arrive on foot rather than arrange a ride.
  • Several listed hotels sit around 1.4 to 1.5 km out, roughly 21 to 22 minutes on foot; if you are visiting with young children, plan a short ride for those addresses instead of the full walk.
  • Ngong is reached by road from Nairobi, so allow for road travel on the day you arrive and keep the check-in time of your hotel in mind before setting out to the centre.
  • Weekends and school holidays bring more day visitors from Nairobi to the area; staying in Ngong itself, as at Kepro Farm, lets you reach the centre before the busiest part of the day.
