Today is 🦒
Did you know?
🦒Giraffes are the world's tallest mammals, reaching up to 5.5 metres (19 feet)! This allows them to reach food in treetops that other herbivores can't, giving them a unique foraging advantage.
🦒There are four distinct species of giraffe in Africa: the Masai, Northern, Reticulated, and Southern giraffe, each with their own unique characteristics and geographical distribution.
🦒Every giraffe has a completely unique pattern of spots. These beautiful markings aren't just for show; they also help with temperature regulation to release excess body heat.
🦒They have a unique "pacing" gait, moving both legs on one side of their body at once, which provides stability.
🦒Giraffes typically sleep standing up, allowing them to make a quick escape from predators if needed. They only sleep for short periods, usually around 30 minutes to 2 hours in a 24-hour period.
🦒Sadly, giraffe populations across Africa have declined significantly. Habitat loss, civil unrest, poaching and climate change are major threats. Conservation efforts are vital to protect these magnificent animals.

Choosing a safari holiday helps to conserve these beautiful and unique species through park fees and conservation initiatives.

" Madagascar was an unforgettable experience. The guys looking after us were fantastic. Tanna was spectacular, we could have been in any chic French town. We had an amazing guide who led all of our wildlife spotting adventures. We are very grateful for her patience and for sharing her knowledge and passion with us. We saw incredible sights. Paradise Cove in Mauritius was perfect - I would definitely recommend it. Thank you for helping organise such an unforgettable adventure. "
