Saw pair of mating giraffes many years ago


I have been almost lucky several times in seeing this, but everytime the lady seems to decline with a headache as an excuse. :lol: :twisted:

We watched this scene for quite some while...

There was a party of three giraffes lying down. Each newcomer came and went around greeting each giraffe in the party with a "kiss" and then settled down to join them. In the end, there were five or six lying giraffes...!

Wow, Graemy, what a lovely and unusual experience!!

I love giraffes and can never resist stopping to watch them, but am so disapppointed that most others seem to just rush on by :(

Further to discussion on previous pages and the different patterns on Kruger giraffes -

I saw these two on 12 Jan 07, if I remember correctly it was somewhere near Afsaal (on the dirt roads). Within the same family "normal" (smooth edged) marks, and then the one in front with the jagged marks. I thought it was a lost Masai giraffe.
