Giraffes & Co at Haller Park, Mombasa

Close to Benson’s house, there is Haller Park. Earlier, there was cement produced here. After the material was finished, the owner, Mr. Haller, decided to re-nature the whole area. Today, this is a wonderful park with many big trees, Baobabs, Curtain Fig Trees, etc., Moreover, there is a lot of animals - especially exciting is it there in the afternoons, because then the animals are fed. A giraffe's tongue is - 1. veeeeery long, 2. veeeery furry, 3. veeeeery viscous....

Feeding giraffes, Haller Park, Mombasa, Kenya

It is good that the hippos and the crocodiles are fed by the staff. In both cases one should not come too close to their tongues...
