Giraffe House Wildlife Awareness Centre
- 4.4 out of 5 on Google (5,517 reviews)
- Price band R (unconfirmed)
A small, hands-on wildlife centre where a hand-reared giraffe is the headliner and the farmyard is not far behind.
Why it’s worth it
Giraffe, eland, meerkats, a caracal and a blue duiker share a compact site, so children see a good spread of South African animals without a long walk. Animal food is sold on site for treating the residents, and there are two jungle gyms and a lawn for letting off steam. Bring a picnic if you like; alcohol is not allowed.
