We enjoy visiting the San Diego Safari Park. The morning weather there is almost always nice. And if we let our imaginations go, it feels as though we’re on an actual safari. We got a kick out of this Rothchild Giraffe that was very curious about the filming of a documentary.
This big guy followed the large movie camera mounted on the vehicle all around the massive African exhibit. It made us beg to wonder: “What must it be thinking?!”

I still wonder what the giraffe was thinking and if they had snacks on board the truck for him. Ha!

He probably finds it nice that the vehicle is a bit as tall as him =P
Cathi says
He probably doesn’t see things at his eye level Merlinda. Ha!

Whao..it must be a really neat experience to get so up and close with a giraffe
Cathi says
They’re actually quite tame Dominique. At least those that they let the public near. 😉

I bet that they got some great close ups of him, he was really close! LOL! Smile. It looks like a lot of fun, would love to go on a true safari, as long as I knew the big cats would not eat me!
Cathi says
I’m with you Nikki. I’d love the real safari but it’s the bugs that scare me. Ha!
