The somali giraffe or reticulated giraffe is a subspecies of giraffe native to somalia,but is also widely found in Northern Kenya and Southern Ethiopia.

The reticulated girraffe is the most well known of the nine giraffe sub species and is by far the most commmonly seen in parks.

Its coat consists of large, polygonal liver colored spots outlined by a network of bright white lines.The extraordinary height of the giraffes allows them to feed from the branches of trees that other hoofed animals cant reach.

This long legged birds hve always fascinated man with their bodies and elegance.An encounter with the birds at the Ostrich Farm will confirm the fascination.
Regarded as the heaviest birds in the animal kingdom,the savannah ostriches at the park are spread out in open grassland.This gives them ample space to co-exist in the ecosystem while leaving room for visitors to come close enough to feed them.

Mamba Village is home to the nile crocodile,a predator feared for their ruthless agressions and formidable strength.
"Mamba" is a swahili translation of the term "Crocodile".A visit to the five crocodile pens unearths interesting information about the only wild carnivores that cannot be domesticated.

You can even watch the spectacle of crocodiles feeding every Sunday evening at 4.00pm East African time.

The African Congo Peafowl is placed in its own genus Afropavo and is not dealt with here. Peafowl are best known for the male's extravagant tail, which it displays as part of courtship.
