Giraffe House Wildlife Awareness Centre

Description

At The Giraffe House Wildlife Awareness centre we provide easy access to some of Africa's wonderful wildlife and bird species. Focusing on African wildlife, Giraffe House aims to provide a place for people to enjoy the outdoors, whilst experiencing and learning about animals and why they are special.

An important member of our team is Gerry, our hand reared giraffe. Did you know that giraffes can reach almost 6 m and are therefore the tallest land mammals on earth? Gerry is joined by some other animal friends that have been selected to form part of our wildlife educational programs.

Education is our primary focus, and we cater from preschool and school groups to older groups. The wildlife education is presented in an informative wildlife conservation program suited for the individual group. We are open to general public.

Our interactive creepy crawly encounters are held at 11:00, 13:00 and 15:00 on weekends and during school holidays. It gives the visitor the opportunity to meet and hold some interesting creatures.

Recreation and relaxation are important in today's busy world and Giraffe House offers the family an opportunity to spend affordable quality time together outdoors. Jungle gyms are available. There is no restaurant on the premises, but a refreshment kiosk supplies snacks and something to drink. Visitors are welcome to bring a picnic basket. Please just take note of our no-alcohol policy. Giraffe House is also a fun kiddies’ party venue.

We went there after terrible storms in Cpt, was told its very wet and muddy but found the area well managed. Though suggest that they do consider getting some stones covering the walkways to assist when it does rain. The girrafes are lovely and the venue has been upgraded since our last visit before covid.Wait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
What a lovely experience, for kids and adults alike. Great coffee, play area for kids and the experience of seeing a variety of animals. The encounter was also very good. From tarantulas to a Burmese phython.... Great information and sharing of knowledge. Very enjoyable. Highly recommended.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Really great place to go to see some giraffes and a few other animals. The reptile show is a good addition. Only bummer is you can’t feed the giraffes anymore, nonetheless still a great visit.Visited onWeekendWait timeUp to 10 minReservation recommendedNot sure
Even on a rainy day it was absolutely worth visiting the amazing giraffes... all animals are well taken care of, cages are clean. Sad that visibility is quite impaired by lots of fine fencing and giraffes can't be fed anymore since covid times. Would be lovely to go to the top of the wooden frame at the giraffe's space to at least get a better view of them. Coffee is also fantastic and there is loads of parking. There is even a lovely designated area for kiddies to have a party.
Great place to bring children to see some amazing animals. They also have a small animal demonstration that involved the kids excellently to learn more about the creatures and what they contribute to the world. There is lots of place to rest, a small cafeteria area for drinks and snacks and a lovely atmosphere.
What an enjoyable place to visit with your kids. We got to see many small and large animals. There are springbok, duikers, reptiles, ostrich, giraffe, zebra, tortoise food etc. the variety of animals will definitely keep kids entertained. There are also party venues, a snack shop, outdoor play space and jungle gym. We were a bit disappointed that there was no feeding allowed, we hoped that we would be able to purchase food to feed the animals but unfortunately post covid they do not allow animal feeding by the public. We bought entrance tickets at the park and our baby had free entrance as she was not yet 2.
Had a kids' party here, and it was really awesome! Kids enjoyed the lizard show and all the other animals. We will definitely be back soon!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
We visited Giraffe House for the first time during the December school holidays and we absolutely loved it. There was no cue, the entrance fee is more than fair and you'll find lots of space for the kids to run around. There even is a playground in front of the little snack shop where you can take a break and eat some ice cream in case you need a little break. But of course, the highlight is the many animals in the park that range from big to small and it's so much fun to discover them all and learn some fun facts. We also attended the Reptile Show where we got some hands-on experience with snakes, lizards, fat frogs and scary spiders. The length was perfect for even smaller children and very interesting to follow the show. We will definitely come back more often to admire all the wild animals in a beautiful environment.
Definitely worth a visit especially for children. The animals are in a very good condition. The water bowls, feeding bowls and cages / camps are very clean, green and in good condition. R85 per adult.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
We had a great time with our young one, place looks to be well maintained and the animals are well looked after. Bathrooms need a bit of TLC but it was a very busy day. Great show about reptiles presented by a humorous and very knowledgable caretaker who also allowed us to touch the Burmese python.Visited onPublic holidayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
