Footprints for the Future
As we get ready to welcome you into Heart of Africa, we're inviting you to be part of something truly special.
Introducing Footprints for the Future: giraffe hoof prints. A unique way to support the conservation of giraffes, both here at Chester Zoo and across Africa.
With a £500 donation, your name - or the name of a loved one - will be engraved onto a beautifully crafted giraffe hoof print plaque and displayed inside our brand-new giraffe house in Heart of Africa.
Your support goes beyond the zoo. You’ll be standing with us on the frontline of conservation, helping to protect Northern giraffes in Uganda, a species on the brink of extinction. With fewer than 3,000 left in the wild, action must happen now.
Your donation includes:
- Your personalised wooden giraffe hoof print plaque in our new giraffe house.
- A bespoke thank you pack with a certificate of support.
- Exclusive conservation updates from our experts, showing the impact of your generosity.
Be part of this legacy. Help us safeguard the future of giraffes.

Northern giraffes are under threat, with their numbers falling fast.
Right now, the IUCN estimates that fewer than 3,000 remain in the wild.
By caring for our giraffe herd in their new home at Heart of Africa, we’re playing a vital role in safeguarding this species.
But our work doesn’t stop here. Our teams are on the ground in Uganda, working with conservationists to protect and restore wild giraffe populations - ensuring they don’t just survive, but thrive.
