Our facility is free-roaming, so our animals, including the giraffes, can make the decision to approach the safari wagons to be fed. The giraffes love to interact with our visitors and approach plenty of safari wagon tours, but we cannot guarantee it! If giraffe interactions are a priority we recommend the Private Pinz tour, as the 4×4 can traverse in many areas of the property that our safari wagon tours cannot.
If the temperature is below 50 degrees or if weather conditions are adverse, the giraffes are required to stay in their heated barn for their protection.
