Come face-to-face with the tallest mammal in the world at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo’s Giraffe platform! Our custom built enclosure offers a high level viewing platform, allowing you to get closer than ever to these amazing creatures.
Our latest addition to the herd is calf Margaret, born to mum Luna and dad Bashu on Tuesday 8 December 2020.
She was born at the same time as the first COVID-19 vaccine was given to 90-year-old Margaret Keenan, during the early hours of Tuesday 8 December - and in recognition of the poignant moment, the infant has been named Margaret.
Get up close to the world's tallest animals with this special Meet the Giraffes experience.
With an adoption pack, you can help to care for our giraffes at ZSL London and Whipsnade Zoo, and support our worldwide conservation work.

Enjoy feeding our giraffes their lunch whilst an expert zoo keeper tells you about our giraffe herd, as well as some fascinating giraffe facts.
Meet the Giraffes experience includes:
Based on the new Government Guidance that recently came into place surrounding the wearing of facemasks, we are now asking all our Meet the Giraffes participants who are over the age of 11 and not on exempt to wear a mask during their experience. You will need to bring your own facemask with you.
This 20 minute VIP experience begins with a health and safety briefing from our expert zoo keeper who will then take you to our special giraffe feeding area, which takes you up close to our giraffe herd. You will then help our zoo keeper hand feed the giraffe whilst learning more about this amazing species. There will be a maximum of six people taking part in the experience, giving you lots of time with our giraffes and zoo keeper.
