Sunday July 17th

We had a leisurely morning and then headed to Giraffe Manor at 10:30 where we were greeted with hot towels and fresh squeezed juice.  They gave us a quick tour and then the staff went out into the brush to entice the  giraffes in to allow us to feed them.

Even Grandma fed the giraffe because she was told their saliva is very good for your skin.  (Tourists will believe anything.)

Later in the day they taught us how to let the giraffes take food from your mouth.  Grandma did not participate in this particular activity.

Cooper got slurped!

We headed to the Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and this was the highlight of Grandpa Bob's trip.
We got to bottle feed the elephants and then watch them play.

This is an amazing undertaking that they are able to reintroduce these elephants into the wild in five years. 

We highly recommend that you see the IMAX called Born to be Wild which was released in April and is about this orphanage as well as an orangutan orphanage.  You'll see Wilson, the project manager, tell his tale.
