內(nèi)羅畢是個生動、有趣的國際化大都市，城市綠樹成蔭、花團(tuán)錦簇，有“陽光下 的綠城”之稱。

Kenya，s capital city of Nairobi has some spectacular yet little known tourist destina - tions that one can easily miss. In addition， as the city establishes itself as a leading confer- ence tourism destination in Africa， these gems hidden around the city are best suited for such visitors. Without having to travel far from the city， such visitors can take a short drive and enjoy Kenya，s rich tourism resources.

One such attraction is the Giraffe Centre. Located approximately 10 km from the city center， the Giraffe Centre offers visitors the opportunity to get up close and personally with these tall and friendly giants. Visitors can use an elevated feeding platform that allows them to feed the giraffes.
