You can visit the park next door, I'm assuming this is the one outside Nairobi? You can feed the giraffes at the park too for a lot lot less

u/organic_soursop 13h ago

Giraffe Manor, Nairobi.

Aww… she’s got lashes like the girl who works at the Taco Bell near my house!

five grand per night for a family of 3.

u/DogtasticLife 13h ago

They do have blue tongues!

25

u/The_Nak 12h ago

Not naturally, but the last window was feeding them takis

7

u/phoenix1984 13h ago

Yeah, I came to the comments to see if anyone else was hung up on that. So odd/interesting.

u/Tw1ch1e 10h ago

And they feel like dry sandpaper!!!!!

u/razorbacks3129 13h ago

More of a blackish purple

u/North-Pea-4926 12h ago

I noticed she looked like she actually just woke up, not like she woke up a half hour before, did her hair and makeup, then pretended to wake up.

Made the “surprise” much better!

31

u/colin8651 5h ago

Start of the video with the wake-up knock and the linens around the bed I was think “why in the fuck would someone vacation here”

Then I see feeding giraffes from the window and it all makes sense

66

u/kayedee12345 13h ago

Oh, I follow her on Instagram! She’s actually one of my favorite people because she’s just so real and not pretentious at all. She doesn’t pretend her life is perfect. I think she would overwhelm me in real life, but I enjoy catching her stories from time to time.

45

u/Look__a_distraction 11h ago

Well if she was so real why was she lying to us saying she didn’t know why they were waking her up at 5am for a special surprise? Girl you booked the feed the giraffe expansion pack hotel you know exactly why you are being woken up! /s

u/icarus2847 12h ago

What’s her insta

u/kayedee12345 12h ago

Her username there is myriamestrella8

u/chanty19 12h ago

Me too! Love her.

1

u/kayedee12345 12h ago

I haven’t caught up yet, do you know if a proposal has happened already? I’m absolutely not where I can start doomscrolling Instagram. I lose a ridiculous amount of time when I do that, lol.

2

u/chanty19 6h ago

The proposal happened. She said yes! 🎉

1

u/kayedee12345 6h ago

Ha, that’s awesome!

1

u/chanty19 11h ago

Oh right….I forgot about that.
Not yet that I’ve seen. I’ll let ya know! 😂

2

u/kayedee12345 11h ago

I’ve enjoyed how her girlfriend planned all of it with her favorite things in mind. It’s been sweet seeing her joy at all the giraffe things!

A giraffe vacation isn’t necessarily what I would like as a surprise vacation, but the sentiment has been cute.

I personally would love a week in Italy, but who am I to yuck someone else’s yum?

31

u/SmartaHari 13h ago

Man, I need to inherit some wealth or do a bank heist because now I want to feed giraffes at 5am.

15

u/Call-Me-Mr-Speed 12h ago edited 10h ago

After watching the videos, I said that’s it I’m booking a trip there. Then I saw the prices and said, that’s it I’m not booking a trip there…unless I can join your bank heist plans. When and where?

10

u/SmartaHari 11h ago

Well, based on your name, you’re the wheels.

u/InternalServerErr500 9h ago

Just take a trip to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. For $2 they give you lettuce to feed the giraffes. Their tongues are super weird.

u/ChartInFurch 7h ago

It's at a few zoos as well. They look so cool up close.

8

u/KittyIsAn9ry 13h ago

I would cry, look at how cute they are 😭❤️

7

u/Radiant_Dot1372 13h ago

Softest lippy’s evvvvvver! 🥰

5

u/Appropriate_Coast522 11h ago

Damn, not many surprises worth getting up for at 5am, but that is definitely one of them.

8

u/edencathleen86 13h ago

I was not expecting the giraffes! I love this so much.

5

u/Separate-Toe1067 13h ago

I would kil....Daaawwwww!!!!

5

u/HanzoNumbahOneFan 11h ago

Yup. I'd get 5 hours of sleep for that.

6

u/Pinksamuraiiiii 13h ago

Omg would totally do this! 🦒

3

u/W0nderingMe 12h ago

Why isn't she feeding the other giraffe???

3

u/Fen_der_bass 10h ago

The one time I met a giraffe was amazing. I would love to do this. 

3

u/boredinbabylon 10h ago

AHHHHH! I was not prepared for this!!!!

I was like “okay come on, why the hell do you film yourself at 5am for a “surprise” phone call with the flash on!!”

I shrieked with delight at the reveal.

3

u/asphodel67 7h ago

OMG…I was not expecting that!!!

6

u/alwayzstoned 13h ago

I am up at 5 am whether I want to be or not. This would make it so much better.

4

u/OrdinaryBrilliant901 12h ago

I would just die of happiness if I could do this!

3

u/d_ac 8h ago

I've recently read a fact that I had never thought about, despite being so obvious.

Giraffes are so tall that, in their natural habitat, they can't find shelter. If a storm comes, they just stand up in the rain. Just getting wet and cold, higher than anything else.

It makes me sad.

2

u/Rosebud_apothocary 10h ago

I definitely wouldn't mind waking up at 5am for this 😍

2

u/HermelindaLinda 10h ago

Fewer hours of sleep is worth it for these babies! 

2

u/sincerelyryan 9h ago

Okay now back to bed for 3 more hours

2

u/melancholy_dood 7h ago

Those giraffes love her!❤️

2

u/VioletFireCat 7h ago

This is so cool! My nan loves giraffes, and years ago someone gave her a 'feed the giraffes' voucher for a local zoo that has some. It was for two people, and when I was visiting that summer she asked if I wanted to feed the giraffes with her. So I did, and it was amazing! I was only like 12 at the time I think, but you really don't realise how massive they are until you're standing right next to them. Beautiful animals though!

3

u/Travelcat67 13h ago

This is on my bucket list!

4

u/Jockcop 11h ago

Worth 5am for

2

u/Xenc 12h ago

Beautiful

2

u/KittenFace25 11h ago

I would get up at any time for them... 🥹

1

u/Glum-Pop-136 11h ago

Anyone from the UK, born in the 90s/early 2000s better be singing ‘64, 64, 64 zoo lane’ right now.

1

u/MolaMolaMania 11h ago

I think I know this place as there's one like it close to where I live in California. You stay on the property like a hotel, but you're actually inside an animal convervancy.

1

u/ChartInFurch 7h ago

I wish cartoon physics could exist in like 10 second batches bc I'd love to just slide down one from the window to the garden without hurting it or dying.

1

u/Single-Pea7265 6h ago

Window giraffes 😭😭😭

1

u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang 5h ago

Omg. They're so cute. I hate morning but would make an exception for those beauts ☺️

u/aliensareunderground 4h ago

I love it! A real life 64…64…64 Zoo Lane.

u/bbyxmadi 1h ago

I wouldn’t be mad about that 5am wake up.
