wild when they are ready. Its worth visiting and see humanitarian care
to the wildlife and the heart it takes to care. They charge a small entrance

Giraffe Manor Africa's pride of international celebrity. Since its founders,
Jock and Betty Leslie-Melville, rescued a baby giraffe named Daisy from
a heavily-poached area of western Kenya in 1974, their home has become
a household name among wildlife lovers world-wide - and Daisy a star in
her own right.
Today,
Daisy's home has been opened to the world - and provides what is
felt is the very best place to begin or end your safari or if in a conference
or transit it worth coming close to wildlife from the bustle of the city
where you feed giraffes with your own hands and have the closest touch.
Other animals includes the tortoise, warthog and a parrot.
