Although the range of giraffe in Kenya has dramatically decreased in the past few years, they still continue to exist, mostly in protected areas, in 27 of the 47 counties. Maasai giraffe are now limited to the southern parts of Kenya: ranging from the Nairobi National Park
southwards through the Athi Plains, and eastwards from the Maasai Mara Ecosystem to the Amboseli Ecosystem, Chyulu Hills National Park, Taita Ranches and Tsavo West National Park. Marula Valley Farm is home to the northern most population of Maasai giraffe, whilst
other populations are found in and around Hell’s Gate National Park.
Reticulated giraffe, on the other hand, roam throughout northern Kenya: through the Marsabit National Park and Reserve, Samburu, Shaba and Buffalo National Reserves, northern range lands and conservancies, and various private lands. The southernmost population occurs in northern Tsavo East National Park. Recent surveys show that Lamu and Garissa counties are home to important populations of reticulated giraffe.
From 1970, Nubian giraffe have gradually been (re-)introduced to their native and new ranges. From east to west, small numbers now occur in Mwea National Reserve, Giraffe Centre, Kigio Wildlife Conservancy, Soysambu Conservancy and Lake Nakuru National Park,
Nasolot National Reserve, Mt. Elgon National Park, Ruma National Park and Lake Baringo National Park.
