getting slobbered on by girafes.my ridiculously happy morning at giraffe center
非洲濒危野生动物基金会（肯尼亚）-长颈鹿中心的点评
点评：I VISITED the Giraffe Centre in Nairobi last weekend, and honestly, it was one of those experiences that just leaves you grinning like an idiot the whole day.
You walk in and almost immediately these massive, graceful Rothschild’s giraffes come strolling over (no fences between you and them on the raised platform). One of them, a cheeky female named Kelly, stuck her long purple-black tongue right out and gently took the pellets from my hand. The texture of that tongue is wild, like rough velvet, and the way they curl it around the food is pure comedy.
The best part? Getting eye-to-eye with them. You’re literally at head height, so you can see every eyelash (yes, giraffes have the longest eyelashes on the planet, it’s ridiculous). I even got a slobbery “giraffe kiss” on the forehead when I held a pellet between my lips like the guide suggested. Zero regrets, even if I smelled like giraffe saliva for the next hour.
The staff are super passionate, the little talk about conservation was short but actually interesting, and watching the warthogs trot around under the platform like they own the place added extra charm. Spent about two hours there and could’ve easily stayed longer.
If you’re anywhere near Nairobi, just go. It’s pure joy, zero pretension, and you leave feeling weirdly happy about the world. 10/10, will be back to bother Kelly again.

翻译：上周末我去了内罗毕的长颈鹿中心，说实话，那真是一次让人一整天都傻笑不停的体验。
你一走进去，几乎立刻就能看到一群体型庞大、姿态优雅的罗斯柴尔德长颈鹿踱步过来（在高台上，你和它们之间没有任何围栏）。其中一只名叫凯莉的雌性长颈鹿，调皮地伸出它那长长的紫黑色舌头，轻轻地从我手里接过饲料。它的舌头触感很特别，像粗糙的天鹅绒，它们卷起舌头吃东西的样子简直太滑稽了。
最棒的是什么？当然是和它们面对面！你几乎和它们的头一样高，所以你能看到它们的每一根睫毛（没错，长颈鹿拥有地球上最长的睫毛，真是太夸张了）。我甚至按照导游的建议，把饲料含在嘴里，结果还被它们亲了一下，额头上沾满了口水。一点也不后悔，即使接下来一个小时我身上都散发着长颈鹿口水的味道。
工作人员热情洋溢，关于自然保护的讲解虽然简短却引人入胜，看着疣猪在观景台下悠闲地漫步，仿佛这里是它们的地盘，更是别有一番乐趣。我在那里待了大约两个小时，其实还可以待更久。
如果你在内罗毕附近，一定要去。那里充满纯粹的快乐，毫无矫揉造作，离开时你会莫名地感到对世界充满美好的憧憬。满分10分，下次一定还会再去“骚扰”凯莉。
