Show up by 9am sharp to beat the massive school bus influx. You get roughly an hour on the raised wooden deck to feed Rothschild giraffes pellets. Heads up: those tongues are aggressive sandpaper and will leave your clothes covered in slime, so dress accordingly. Skip individual gate tickets and book a combined tour with the Elephant Orphanage instead; it saves you hours of Nairobi traffic stress. It is a quick, messy, and surprisingly fun morning activity.
