Help us celebrate the tallest animal in the zoo!

It’s the leggiest week of the year!

What animal can run as fast as 50 kilometres per hour, only needs between 5-30 minutes of sleep per day and has a bluish-purple tongue that’s between 45-50 centimeters long?

Help us raise awareness for the bold and beautiful giraffe species by spending the day with gentle giants Kimya, Nolean and Unyezi, taking part in a giraffe experience, or picking up a spotty souvenir from the shop.

Just by visiting, you’re supporting these leggy legends not only at the zoo but also in the wild!
