The MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience educates our guests on the importance of natural ecosystems or wildlife conservation, and contributes to their restoration or repopulation with a visit to the Giraffe Centre. The centre is the creation of the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (A.F.E.W. Kenya), a Kenyan non-profit organisation. Our main purpose is to educate Kenyan school children and youth on their country’s wildlife and environment, as well as give local and international visitors an opportunity to come into close contact with the world’s tallest species, the giraffe.
