    can i feed the giraffes at animal kingdom lodge

    Jambo, Tanya!

    Thank you for stopping by planDisney with your giraffe question! Oh, I’m absolutely wild about giraffes, too! Aren’t they just the most majestic creatures? My family and I love watching them roam gracefully across the savannas at Animal Kingdom Lodge—it’s like stepping into a real-life wildlife documentary!

    Now, let’s swing right into your question. Unfortunately, Guests aren’t able to feed the giraffes at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. But did you know that Disney’s animal care experts go above and beyond to create enriching environments for these gentle giants? They use cleverly designed puzzle feeders placed high up in the trees to mimic how giraffes naturally forage. It’s fascinating to watch them investigate and enjoy these cleverly disguised treats—it’s both enrichment for the giraffes and a delightful sight for us!

    If you’re looking to elevate your giraffe-inspired adventure, I highly recommend the Starlight Safari at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. This unique nighttime expedition lets you explore the savannas under the stars, armed with a night vision device! It’s a great way to spot giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and even antelopes as they roam the moonlit savanna. With over 20 exotic African species, including ostriches, this experience is pure magic. Be sure to book your reservation early, as this safari fills up quickly!

    And don’t miss the chance to spend some time watching the giraffes graze during the day at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Whether you’re relaxing at the savanna overlook or enjoying a meal at Sanaa, where the floor-to-ceiling windows offer incredible views, you’ll feel like you’re on a magical African safari.

    I hope your visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is full of wild adventures. 

    Hakuna Matata and enjoy the magic!
