Not only are they the tallest animal in Africa, they're the tallest in the world and now a new experience offers the chance to get up close and personal with the magnificent giraffe, right here in the Hunter
Just in time for the school holidays, Hunter Valley Wildlife Park has launched a brand new Wildlife Sunrise experience, where guests have a chance to hand feed one of the park's three giraffes; Sophie, Shingo or Kebibi.
Armed with their favourite food; acacia leaves or pellets, guests will be face-to-face with a giraffe and probably get their hand slobbered on in the feeding process, but that's all part of the fun.
The experience also includes a guided keeper tour, a delicious breakfast (for the humans), animal feed bags and a picture of the giraffe encounter.
Australian Wildlife Parks marketing director Sara Ang said she's thrilled to bring this experience to the Hunter.
