Why wholesale

Much of what we sell goes to shops, lodges and organisations. Who asks, what to put in a request, and where our animals already sit on shelves.

Much of what we sell goes to retailers, lodges, gift shops and organisations. That is why the wholesale page sits in the main menu, next to Shop.

Who sends a request

Gift shops and other retailers.
Lodges.
Schools, charities and other organisations.

If you run a shop, a short note on where you are and what you already sell helps us suggest animals that fit your shelf.

What to put in your request

The wholesale form asks for a request type: a price list, a quote or a reorder. Tell us a little about your business, the animals and sizes you have in mind, roughly how many, and when you would need them. The more you say, the less we have to ask back.

A reorder request is for shops that already stock our animals. If you have not ordered before, a price list or a quote is the place to start. A school or a charity can use the same form: say what the animals are for.

A person replies on WhatsApp with the price list or the quote. We do not show wholesale prices on the website.

Where our animals already sit on shelves

Seven outlets in and around Nairobi stock them: Blue Rhino Shop at Village Market Mall, Spinners Web Shop in Kitisuru, a Pop-up Shop at Yaya Centre Mall, the Giraffe Centre in Karen, Beth International Shops at JKIA, Marula Green Market on Marula Lane in Karen and New Muthaiga Mall. The stockists page lists them all.

The outlets are different kinds of places, from a mall to a wildlife centre to a green market. Our animals have been placed on shelves, on tables and at stalls, and the photos below show some of that.

What the photos tell a buyer

In the gift shop photo, yellow giraffes, tan lions, grey elephants and light blue rhinos sit in groups on a shelf, each with a hang tag. In the market table photo, giraffes stand in a block, elephants in a line and lions together, with four long cats in orange, mint, blue and pink at the front.

Both are grouped by kind, which makes a table easy to read at a glance. If you are planning a display, that is a good place to start.

You can also reach the same number by phone or WhatsApp from the contact page.
