Northern Giraffe: Giants of the Savannah

The northern giraffe, known for its towering height and iconic spots, is one of the most recognizable animals in Africa. In reserves, these gentle giants roam vast savannah-like enclosures, where they can graze on acacia trees and interact with their herd.

Reserves prioritize maintaining healthy giraffe populations through breeding programs and habitat restoration efforts. Researchers closely monitor their behavior, studying how giraffes communicate, migrate, and adapt to changing environments.

Educational programs in reserves highlight the ecological role of giraffes as “ecosystem architects.” By feeding on treetops, they prune foliage, allowing sunlight to reach lower plants and promoting biodiversity. Protecting giraffes ensures the health of the savanna and the many species that depend on it.
