UB Around the Globe: Kenya Feel the Love?
Category: WebExtras
Sure, Catherine Karita, MBA ’07, might admit to missing the Baltimore Ravens after leaving Charm City to return to her native Kenya. But she may have found a new animal of choice thanks to Nairobi’s Giraffe Centre, a sanctuary for endangered Rothschild giraffes run by the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife.
Here, she shares with us a few additional photos of her recent visit and her new friends.

Karita notes that the Giraffe Centre isn’t just for tourists; both she and her son enjoy the attraction.

These giraffes are anything but shy with visitors, who are allowed to feed the animals by hand and by mouth.
