Good to know before you book
Opening hours and feeding times can change, so check the Giraffe Centre's current listing before you go, especially if you're visiting with children.
It tends to get busier with school groups earlier in the day, so a later morning or afternoon visit is usually calmer.
The Karen Blixen Museum is close by too, and often worth combining into the same trip.
