Well, the last two days have officially been a dream come true.
After a very long travel day from Virunga National Park (in Congo) to Nairobi (Kenya) we FINALLY arrived at Giraffe Manor. We were given a quick tour before I was advised I had 30 minutes to make myself presentable before our giraffe photoshoot (not an easy feat after over 11hrs of travelling).
I ran upstairs threw some makeup on and let the magic happen. It was incredible the giraffes came right up to the house, ate out of our hands and even came in for a cheeky kiss. After 2hrs of feeding, playing and posing it was time for the giraffes tongo to bed and for us to have a family style dinner with the other guests in the dining room.
The room (well, the whole house really) felt like it was out of Cluedo - we were expecting Colonel Mustard to murder someone with a candlestick in the dining room.
This morning was just as incredible. We awoke to giraffes at our window and then dined with them downstairs for breakfast. After another few hours of photos and feeding we headed to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust p which is an orphanage for Elephants.
We were lucky enough to see 24 baby elephants (aged 2 months - 2 yrs) feed and play in the mud. We are now off for a quick city tour before our afternoon flight to Zanzibar.
