Last week we had an opportunity to go the Giraffe Reserve Park about an hour outside of Niamey. Last time we went was December of 2008, so i was due for a return trip! As always, the animals did not disappoint! These are all mostly un-edited shots since I am running short of time, but enjoy a little insight into these spectacular creatures!
How many giraffes can you see in this picture? (Answer at bottom of the post!)
My friend Kari, who is also an avid photographer. We were like kids in a candy store with our gear and giraffes!
I think he thought he was camoflage behind this tree…
Taking a few last shots as they start to head off in another direction.
And finally they slowly move off into the distance. What an amazing day!
And the answer to the question at the beginning- 8 giraffes in that one photo! The largest grouping we came across was 20 giraffes.

What great shots!! These brought back so many wonderful memories of our visit with you to see them just before Christmas 2008!! Definitely one of God's most beautiful, gentle and graceful creatures. And like snowflakes--- no two have the same spot patterns!! Amazing.
