We had to wake up early that day because we were going to a giraffe center and a baby elephant orphanage. The giraffe center was super short. The giraffes were not. We had to feed the giraffes little pellets. Their tongues were super long and funny looking. I especially liked feeding one of the baby giraffes that would duck under the bar to get the food. It was super cute! Mom got bit by one of the giraffes, which looked super painful. There was also a hotel in the area called the giraffe hotel, and the giraffes would stick their head through the windows to wake you up, and you get to have breakfast with them. I wish we could have stayed there, but mom said it was super expensive because of the giraffes. I probably would not go back there, but it was a fantastic experience.
The next place we went was an elephant orphanage for baby elephants. Some of them were super duper tiny! Twelve would come out and go for the milk bottles. They were very excited about it and were also a little pushy. We got to learn their names, and I got to touch one, but I am not fond of touching elephants, small or big. After seeing them play, we got the chance to foster one of them! I chose to do so, and I picked Kinyei. She was one of the cuter ones and was pretty small. I am super happy about being able to help her, and I get to hear stories about her and her friends. One day she will get to go into the wild again, but only when she is older. I would highly recommend this experience as a heartwarming, funny endeavor. Seeing the small elephants play and eat was super cool and fun. I would most definitely go back there.
