We are greeted by two life-size statues of Rothschild giraffes at the entrance to Giraffe Ark Lodge after a three-hour drive from Nairobi.
What a relief it is to be in Nyeri. It is not as hot as Nairobi. In fact, as we disembark from the vehicle, there is a welcome breeze. It looks like it will rain. One of the staff members tells us it rained the previous night.
