Giraffes are one of the most beautiful animals on earth. They are gorgeously patterned and wonderfully gentle. They are enormous and very capable of defending themselves with their powerful hooves and heavy heads that they can use like a club. Few animals will take on a fully grown giraffe. But with little reason to worry, healthy and strong giraffes wander casually over many areas of the African continent. Protected by the herd, a giraffe will rarely need to defend itself.

These giraffes live on a protected safari where they have a large expanse of land to roam. They have no predators here and there can be no poachers. They see curious humans who watch them from vehicles on established pathways through the safari. Occasionally, they are as curious about the visitors as the visitors are about them. These giraffes have taken an interest in the tour bus full of people. As the herd crosses the road, they stop to inspect the guests.

Although there are zoos where animals are treated well and where they do have sufficient space to wander freely, safaris like this one provide a habitat that is much closer to what nature intended for these majestic creatures. By carefully choosing the facilities that we support, we are doing better for the animals. The facilities that do not have the welfare of the animals as their top priority will continue if people choose to spend their money there.
