There’s nothing quite like standing eye-to-eye with one of the tallest animals on Earth. At Haller Park in Mombasa, our giraffe feeding experience lets you safely interact with Rothschild giraffes, a rare and endangered subspecies. From their gentle nature to their surprising 45cm-long blue tongues, this is one of the park’s most popular attractions for families, school groups, and wildlife lovers.
“Feeding the giraffes was a once in a lifetime experience that will live with me forever”
Tourist
Rothschild giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi) are among the most endangered giraffe subspecies, with fewer than 2,000 left in the wild. They are instantly recognizable by their light, irregular spots and the absence of markings on their lower legs — as if they are wearing white socks.
At Haller Park, our giraffes live in large, safe enclosures that replicate their natural savanna environment. They feed primarily on acacia leaves, which provide them with most of their water needs, meaning they can go weeks without drinking from a pond or river.
Feeding the giraffes at Haller Park is easy, safe, and unforgettable. Visitors climb a raised wooden platform that brings them to giraffe head height, where you can offer specially prepared leafy branches.
Daily Feeding Sessions:
During these sessions, park guides share fascinating insights into giraffe behavior, diet, and conservation, making it an educational as well as a fun activity.
The feeding platform is wheelchair accessible, and staff are always present to ensure visitor safety. Children can participate under adult supervision. For everyone’s safety:
