Worth agreeing on before you meet
Conservation Success
The Giraffe Centre is a conservation success story — Rothschild's giraffes were reduced to 130 individuals in the 1970s. Today, largely thanks to breeding programmes and reintroduction efforts from centres like this one, the population has recovered to over 1,600.
Nairobi Climate
Nairobi sits at 1,661 metres altitude — expect cooler temperatures than you might expect for an equatorial city. Mornings and evenings can be genuinely chilly (12–15°C). Bring a light jacket even in "summer".
