p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Breakfast with Twiga


When my children were young we had a house in the neighborhood of Karen near Nairobi. Just down the street was a woman we just knew as Betty who used to feed the giraffes. The giraffes would come into her yard every morning and evening to be fed. My kids would often ask to go over and visit and feed the giraffes and warthogs. At the time, it was just an eccentric neighbor.

Now this house has become a boutique lodge for tourists. So, I took my Wife (not the original wife, or even the one after that. This one only came to Africa with me once, she says that was enough as she thinks I am intent on getting myself killed in the bush. !) there when we had a layover in Nairobi before flying down to Arusha. It is her favorite place in Africa. Much too tame for me as are all lodges, and most of the game parks. The night we stayed we were fortunate enough to watch the birth of a new baby giraffe. I hope you guys enjoy.





The first moment the baby stood. Very exciting







The next morning proud momma brought it out to show off.







My Wife's favorite thing. Sharing breakfast with the Twigas.

Giraffe images are among my favorites. These are excellent. It's an unusual experience to have a giraffe stick its head through the window and share your breakfast.

Trust me she will love it. My favorite part is dinner in the original house. Reminds me of days gone, that will never come back. Colonial elegance.

Happens every day at Giraffe Manor. Our house down the street was infested with blue balled monkeys, little gangsters they are. But one year we had five young Cheetahs spend their teenage years in our back yard. The kids loved that.
